I've long been pondering putting in a memoriam section for those individuals who pass away that I have great respect for, and I didn't honestly see the first one go to Don LaFontaine, the King of Hollywood Voice Overs.As corny as some might say, Don is a legend in my universe. This is literally a guy almost all of us have grown up with. True, maybe not in a hero type role, or as a role model...but someone that can immediately spark thousands of memories at the instant sound of his voice.
Five thousand movie trailers in a 33 year career, this guy is world renown for his voice. To think that his voice was so awesome, that he was both a celebrity from it, and lived off it.
It's very unfortunate that people as unique as this step off our worldly plain so quickly, but at least on the brighter side, he's just started on his career of being a Hollywood epic, and completely unmatched by anyone else.
Hats off to you Mr. LaFontaine....the movies will be a bit more bleak in the future.
To the epic voice over hero, Don LaFontaine.
