"...Don LaFontaine (born in Duluth, Minnesota on August 26, 1940) is a famous voice-over actor. His deep voice has been used in over 4000 movie trailers and many more television commercials and network promos (notably on the FOX Network).
Don LaFontaine, nicknamed 'The King of the Movie Trailers' and 'The VoG (Voice of God)', is credited with creating the modern movie trailer. He is also responsible for having created many of the movie trailer cliche's, such as 'In a world where...,' 'A one-man army...,' or 'From the bedroom to the boardroom....'"
Here's an interview of the guy.
"EXCERPT: Thanks for taking the time to chat with us, Don. I guess I'd like to start with the question I'm sure is on everyone's mind: What would you do if you were TRAPPED IN A WORLD BEFORE TIME, WHERE EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT WAS TRUE IS A LIE, AND THE ONLY PERSON YOU CAN TRUST IS YOURSELF?
[laughs] ...Try and survive, knowing only one man can save me..."
Well, now I wonder if he gets to watch all those movies he's ever voiced over and does he have a copy of each?
