The King of Voiceovers, Don LaFontaine, passed away in Los Angeles on Monday at the age of 68. Don died of complications relating to a collapsed lung, though no official cause of death has been cited
Don’s magical and sometimes chilling voice appeared on over 5,000 movie trailers and 350,000 commercials. Besides many movie trailers, Don also worked as the voice of Entertainment Tonight and The Insider, as well as for CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox and UPN, in addition to TNT, TBS and the Cartoon Network. Don’s voice famously introduced the line “In a world…”
Don was also the “Fox Announcer” on the Family Guy. And recently parodied himself on a series of GEICO commercial.
Rest in peace, Don LaFontaine!
