In a world without the "In a World" guy, I'm sure I'll be given that much more reason to grit my teeth at the overuse of the dramatic "Now..."

Rest In Peace indeed, Mr. LaFontaine.

Dang. They'll never find a guy with a voice as cool as his.

He had the same bday as me!

The era of movie previews is officially over. There'll be nothing now but wannabes and charlatans.

On the plus side, he's now one more thing on Jeopardy that I'll know, but my future kids won't. <evil grin>

But on a more serious note, my movies just won't feel the same, I'm glad he found his way into previews, he definitely made them more than what they were.

A sad loss...

As a testament on how everyone knew the voice but not the face, I always thought it was him doing the trailer for Comedian, which is one of my favorite trailers of all time.

I saw that, but I always thought there was the "one guy" that did it. I didn't know that there were East and West coast versions.

And I always love this video with him and others.

I'm very sad about losing him. He's a great voice actor.

I looked forward to hearing "In a world in chaos, a child, not allowed to exist, faces fear, hatred, and death. He will rise to lead us to victory. Ender's Game, coming soon."

Once Morgan Freeman goes, it's all over for the industry.
