R.I.P. "That Announcer Guy Who Announces All the Movies"

[D'Snowth]

You probably know him as "That Announcer Guy Who Announced All the Movies", with his famous opening lines "In a world where...", but his real name was Don Lafontaine, and he died at 68 today, though it hasn't been said what the cause of death is/was.

Rest in peace Voiceover King.

Aw, He had a good carrer. I wonder how many trailers he narrated.

 

[Skye]

Oh no, that's so sad. He had such a cool voice.

He will be missed!

Apparently he was from Duluth, MN. This was on the webpage for our local paper, I found it interesting that he was a Minnesotan.

RIP announcer dude!

WELL over 1,000 I read!
