"In a world where..."


Don LaFontaine passed away with little fanfare yesterday. Singlehandedly, this man's voice has silenced others with just a few syllables. LaFontaine IS the voice of voice overs. He has sent chills up my spine like no one else. His gruff and growling baritone enuciated words beautifully. He made me want to see movies--urgently. He moved me and countless others to nudge their friend and whisper 'we're seeing that'. There will be none other.

LaFontaine died from complications of from a lung-related illness according to the hollywood reporter. He was 68.
