Misschien zegt de naam je niet gelijk iets maar de stem van deze man zal je zeer waarschijnlijk al vaak gehoord hebben. Donald LaFontaine was de voiceover van bijna 5000 filmtrailers en overleed afgelopen maandag op 68-jarige leeftijd. Op zijn officiële website kunnen we het volgende lezen:

Over the past 25 years, LaFontaine cemented his position as the "King of Voice-overs." Aside from his continuing work in the trailer industry, he has also been the voice of NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox and UPN, in addition to TNT, TBS and the Cartoon Network. By conservative estimates, he has voiced hundreds of thousands of television and radio spots, including commercials for Chevrolet, Pontiac, Ford, Budweiser, McDonalds, Coke, and many other corporate sponsors. At last count, he has worked on nearly 5000 films, including appearances as the in-show announcer for the Screen Actors Guild and Academy Awards. Based on contracts signed, he has the distinction of being perhaps the single busiest actor in the history of SAG.
