Don LaFontaine: The Man Behind the Voice Dies
A well-known voice was silenced this weekend.
Don LaFontaine, the man behind nearly 5000 trailers and 350,000 commercials, died Monday at a hospital in Los Angeles. The 68-year-old’s death was due to complications after a collapsed lung.
Although LaFontaine was mainly known for his legendary pipes, his face recently got air time thanks to a Geico commercial. (That spot can be seen after the jump.) In the meantime, you can familiarize yourself with some of Don’s great voiceover work in the clip below.
