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

[Ilikemuppets]

I liked that guy! So sorry to hear the news of his passing.

And I later learned what his face looked like when he started making appearances on Jay Leno and a few commercials.

May you RIP, Don. I'll never forget that voice from all those movie trailers. -_-;;

And he was the host of Dib's favorite show, Mysterious Mysteries on Invader ZIM. He was charicatured as an eccentric African American who was trying desperately to save the show--and his job--from going down. XD

Lol! I had a feeling SOMEBODY would come along and think this was a thread about TA being dead!

Well, more people know Don Lafontaine as "That Announcer Guy Who Announces All the Movie Trailers", lol.

"In a world where" we lose more and more greats, Don was one of those often-uncredited talents, despite his recognizable voice.

That is so sad, I just saw a big news story on his life not long before he died to...it seemed like he was finally starting to get credit for all he did and then he was gone ;.;
They were talking about how many thousands of movies he did to...basically, if it was a guys voice on the trailer it was him nine times out of ten..he did all sorts of movies...

And as said, he's the host of Mysterious Mysteries within the IZ franchise.
