Epic Win: Don LaFontaine


Submittted by Dan C

The late Don LaFontaine was the voiceover king. He passed away just over a year ago, and movie trailers haven’t been nearly as epic since.

  3. The Eric says:

    Thumbs down. LaFontaine was awesome, but this is just too recent.

  4. Matrix says:

    THAT WAS EPIC!

  5. hee hee says:

    AWESOME!!! Ok folks, how many can you name!?

  6. Kman says:

    LMFAO

    The long hunt for legends of the english terminator cousin part III

    Cruise Control

    XDXD

  7. beingwyrd says:

    i always wondered who that was…it sucks that he died :(

    • Casa says:

      Me too, didn’t know it was all the same guy! I thought it was just required to have some dramatic sounding voice do a synopsis. o0

  8. Rachel of Cyberia says:

    Ed Harris
    Ed Harris
    Ed Harris
    and Ed Harris!

  9. Chris says:

    I got a kick out of the commerical he did for I think it was for Geico insurance. He “epiced” a woman’s dealings with Geico by putting it in movie trailer form. A true classic moment for him.

  10. Ben says:

    Don LaFontaine was the man, but not everything in this video was him.

    • Trey says:

      Yeah, I’m pretty sure I heard Peter Cullen (does voiceovers, too, and is best known as the voice of Optimus Prime) on one about halfway through. But most of them are Don, I’m pretty sure.

  11. ieldanth says:

    I always thought it was cool that, at one time, he did answering machine messages on request for free.

  12. barboid says:

    In a world where there was an epic voice needed to add class, drama and panache to any film promo, Don LaFontaine was the great master of all. RIP

  13. Blaster says:

    Blast from the ass

  14. ImmortalSoFar says:

    He’s the voice of hollywood for the 20th/21st century. Like pseudo-nudity in the ’60s, blacksploitation in the ’70s and teenagers with bad hair in the ’80s. Really, that’s not a good place to be.

  15. Jon says:

    I don’t wanna live… IN A WORLD… without Don LaFontaine.

  16. Heather says:

    Miss that guy. One of my epic voice-over heroes.

  17. jesi says:

    my high school english teacher was totally in love with him and his voiceover for the BORDELLO OF BLOOD trailer.

  18. krishna says:

    that was great, i have all ways wondered who did thouse clips t. thank you to who ever made the video

  19. CT says:

    I think the very first “in a world” is actually Hal Douglas, the other movie voice over guy

  20. Anonymous Coward says:

    I hated this douchebag’s voice, I’m glad he died.

  21. emma_revenge says:

    pablo francisco does a pretty good impression lmao….

  22. Chinchillas–moresoft4U says:

    Can’t forget this little nugget movie trailer that has him doing a cameo voice over (at 1:05)

    After all, trailers generally feature a deep voice that sounds like a seven foot man who has been smoking cigarettes since childhood.
