Don LaFontaine Dies At 68

For those of you who don't know, he's the man who does the recordings for all the movie trailers.

...Who the hell is going to take his place?

This is an outrage! Mother nature should have gifted this man immortality.

Microphone_Kirby · 09-01-2008, 11:53 PM

... I really liked that voice.

Rest In Peace...

I really can't say it better than this. No one could possibly do a better voiceover than him.

Rest In Peace, man.

In a world where one voice can touch the hearts of an entire generation....

That is the most fitting tribute I could come up with.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Guy was awesome.

R.I.P, Don.

Dang, someone from my school had connections to a guy who knew this man. He gave us 'his voice' for a Computer Science introduction movie we had out of charity. Unfortunately, that movie became out dated due to a huge staff change over last summer.

R.I.P. man.

Not sure who the guy was, but may he rest in peace all the same!

**Crazyswordsman** · 09-03-2008, 06:05 AM

And to think I did a parody of him....he will be missed. -CSM

Panfan · 09-03-2008, 02:30 PM

There will never be a voice like his.

Rayman FREAK · 09-03-2008, 08:09 PM

That's all I can say.
