So so sad. Known for his booming voice, the "in a world" guy, the movie trailer guy, Don LaFontaine passed away this past Monday. He produced more than 5,000 movie trailers, 75,000 TV spots, and much more in his 33 year career bringing in millions on his voice alone! Talk about talent.
He passed away after complications in the treatment for an on-going illness. He is survived by his wife singer and actress Nita Whitaker and his three children.
Side note: Did you know Nita was from Shreveport???
He will be missed.

In a world without Don LaFontaine movies will not be the same without those amazing pipes making crappy movies seem like Oscar winning performances. No one can replace him...maybe silence really is golden.
Here is a background video of the man with the golden pipes...Don LaFontaine:

The five guys in a limo bit is hilarious! It's a true loss. What a unique voice that will never be replicated again.
