"The Voice" died...

I didn't know what he looked like until the Geico commercials, but I'm sure you know his voice.

Don LaFontaine died yesterday.

That guy did about 90% of all movie trailers and movie VO's from about 1987 until about a year ago.

He had the "movie" preview voice that Hollywood loved, and he got all the gigs.

Everyone else were just imitatiors.


RIP

This comedian (Pablo Francisco) does a pretty good imitation.

Gonna miss that voice.

If I recall correctly, I think he made about 4 million a year with just his voice. Yeah I will miss it too.
