RIP Don LaFontaine

You've probably never heard of him. But if you've ever seen a slightly cheesy movie trailer, you've heard his voice. Yes, that guy. With the big, ominous voice.

Don LaFontaine, The Voice Of God, 1940-2008.

Ken Campbell went over the weekend too.

Bless. I love the fact that he was very, very rich indeed.

BTW: there's a british VO artist in a similar style who used to work for the tube. On occasion he'd do the full LaFontaine and intone "This is the service to [wherever]. Or is it...?".

Never mind that - The Voice Of Snoopy just passed away! In a fit of 'baby-brain' I've totally forgotten the poor guy's name; but as well as voicing everyones' favourite beagle he also did much of the animation for the cartoon series.
