Don LaFontaine Dies
Don LaFontaine, the "Voiceover King", died Monday in Los Angeles at the age of 68
He is most famous for the line, “In a world…”.
He recorded almost 5,000 movie trailers and nearly 350,000 commercials, programs, files, and other presentations.
The "King of Voiceovers" died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre from complications that resulted from a collapsed lung, reports the CBC. LaFontaine was originally admitted for a blood clot in the lung.
Over the past 25 years, LaFontaine cemented his position as the "King of Voiceovers."
Aside from being the preeminent voice in the movie trailer industry, Don also worked as the voice of Entertainment Tonight and The Insider, as well as for CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox and UPN, in addition to TNT, TBS and the Cartoon Network. By conservative estimates, he voiced hundreds of thousands of television and radio spots, including commercials for Chevrolet, Pontiac, Ford, Budweiser, McDonalds, Coke, and many other corporate sponsors.
He is survived by his wife, actress Nita Whitaker, and three children, Christine, Skye and Elyse.
