I am a bit late on this one but I just heard about it this morning. One of the most famous voice over actors passed away. Don Lafontaine (August 26, 1940—September 1, 2008).
I really admired the guy. I wish I could do what he did. I always thought I had a pretty good voice. Nothing compares to this fellow. He will be missed. Lots of people passing away this year. George Carlin will be missed. I remember going to see his last concert in Seattle. I said “I wanted to see him before he passed away” Not even a year later he does. Sad Times indeed.
Here is my favorite youtube clip.
