Don LaFontaine, who voiced more than 5,000 movie trailers during a career that saw him dubbed "The King of Voiceovers," has died in Los Angeles, his agent confirmed Tuesday. He was 68.

Is he where the stereotypical "Menacing voice" used for almost everything comes from?
It's the time that we kill that keeps us alive...

No way!!!



His voice was on *everything*.

Pretty much all movie trailers, promotional stuff during ad breaks etc etc

Seemed like a funny guy too in that interview.  Love the fact he sent people stuff for free to use on their answering machine...
