IN A WORLD WITHOUT ...DON LAFONTAINE

The name probably means nothing to you but this guy is essentially the voice of movie trailers, having done over 5000 in his lifetime. The minute you hear his sonorous baritone you'll think, 'oh that guy.' LaFontaine was a machine, ripping through up to 50 voice overs a week.

Here are a few examples of his work. In particular, I like how the Geico commercial used him.








And here's a brief doc on the guy. The world of cinema will never be the same. I hope they honor him at the next Oscars. He deserves it!
