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.

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!

Aww, that's really sad to hear. Though most of us didn't know him by name or face, he really had a memorable voice.
