Don La Fontaine dies at age 68, Movie Voiceover Master

I was surfing the web and saw this blurb on the ET website. Don was only 68 years old when he passed away. He is responsible for the voice overs of over 5000 film trailers, and 750,000 television spots for the past 25 years. Some good and some not so good.

He can be more recently be seen paroding himself in Geico Insurance commericals.

"Payback. This time its for real."

www.donlafontaine.com contains more information about the man, his voice and life.

Here is more from the man. In a world, where often the trailers are the most anticipated part of the movie going experience, he will be missed.
