Don LaFontaine, 68, dies - Ander - 09-03-2008
He's the guy who does all the movie trailers.
Article
If you still don't know who he is, there's a YouTube clip of what he sounds like. Guaranteed if you hear his voice you'll know who he is.
This summer was not kind to famous people.

I always thought that was just a voice modifier. I had no idea it was the same guy

Thats honestly really sad, he seemed like such a genuinely lovely guy.
I know 68 isn't young, however a collapsed lung is not a nice way to go, I'd have wished a much more peaceful death for a man that did so much for the entertainment business, for so little fame in return.

He was a pimp.

Aye.
Is he the same person who does the voice for the WWE then?

Well said, Jack.

I believe so. I heard about it yesterday and was like "Aw damn it all.". Movie trailers aren't going to be the same without him.

That sucks. Maybe Keith David will have some more work though. That nukka's voice is fucking HOT.

He is NOT a ring announcer for WWE.
o.O

The WWE ring announcer is Tom Chimel. I'm talking about the guy who does the trailers for WWE PPV's.
Don LaFontaine, 68, dies - Alura - 09-03-2008
Oh.
Yea, that's probably him
EDIT:
Oh, but TONY Chimel is ECW's ring announcer, so he's not the only one.
=o

I must have mistook him for Justin Roberts.
Don LaFontaine, 68, dies - Alura - 09-03-2008
That's Smackdown's announcer.

Complete and utter pimp. I'm gonna miss his voice.
On the other hand, I've wanted to get into voice acting for a while and I can do a perfect impression of Don. Maybe this heralds an opening for me? =o

You and me both, Greg.
Don LaFontaine, 68, dies - Aero - 09-06-2008
Just get Pablo Francisco to do the new voice.
Don LaFontaine, 68, dies - Kazuya - 09-06-2008
XD He could do it too.
