- thegamingguy, on 09/02/2008, -5/+105I didn't know he had passed.
- inactive, on 09/02/2008, -2/+98"In a world..."
- masterkenobi, on 09/02/2008, -0/+79RIP Don, movie trailers will never be the same again. You'll be tremendously missed.
- c010rb1indusa, on 09/02/2008, -0/+58In a world without Don LaFontaine movie trailers...
This is kind of disappointing, I'll never be sold so well on a bad movie again
RIP - protodon, on 09/02/2008, -0/+43So are they going to hire Pablo Francisco to do all those movie trailers now??
- PhoenixAvatar2, on 09/02/2008, -2/+37Damn ***** shame. Feels like a friend died. RIP.

- Ninjao, on 09/02/2008, -0/+23He probably had THE most recognizable voice in the world.
- DariusMonsef, on 09/02/2008, -1/+22In a world where man has only his voice, one man will use that voice to change the world forever. (It is truly a sad day, but man there are some relieved out of work voice actors out there...)
- Dipster, on 09/02/2008, -0/+21Only if Little Tortilla Boy gets greenlighted.. :-D
- personalspace, on 09/02/2008, -0/+20In honor of his passing, I'll be imagining his voice reading all digg the comments today.
- alphabetagaga, on 09/02/2008, -0/+18That's a real, real shame. From the interview, he seemed like a really funny guy. RIP, you will be sorely missed.
- Sogui, on 09/02/2008, -1/+16THE HELL... the last thing I did last night was google him and watch a few spots on him (and his wikipedia) after seeing a reference to him.
It's the eeriest thing to have that happen and see this something like this the next morning, RIP. - mrjofo, on 09/02/2008, -1/+12I guess God needed a trailer voiceover
- PabloIV, on 09/02/2008, -3/+14"In a world without Don LaFontaine, we'd all have a lot more money"
Greg O'Neill
I bet this guy feels like a douche now. - mrjofo, on 09/02/2008, -0/+10These are my tortillas!!
- johnleemk, on 09/02/2008, -1/+10Where the fate of a billion-dollar industry rests on one voiceover artist's shoulders..
- frontaxle, on 09/02/2008, -0/+9Stud. He's chatting with Mel Blanc somewhere now.
- WELLDOITLIVE, on 09/02/2008, -0/+9To rule them all
- Hanzzom, on 09/02/2008, -0/+9RIP Don, The trailers will never be the same without you.
- trer, on 09/02/2008, -0/+8Odd. I don't see any news about his death, not even in the LA Times. So I had to go with Fox News: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,414841,00.html
I can say, without a doubt, there will never be another like Don LaFontaine. He was the greatest. - crackerjack20, on 09/02/2008, -0/+8That's a great video, but this one is even funnier.
Five Famous Voice Guys in a Limo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQRtuxdfQHw - JickBahTech, on 09/02/2008, -0/+8Class act.
I got to sit in on a session with "The Don" once. He was really funny, joking around with the people in the room and on the patch, making fun of his own signature "IN A WORLD". He even gave me a slight wink on his way out.
He'll be missed. - jcani, on 09/02/2008, -0/+7GET DOWN AGAIN!!!
- DivineMonkey, on 09/02/2008, -2/+9Hopefully he'll be announcing deaths in the afterlife, if there is one =P
- protogenxl, on 09/02/2008, -1/+8Arnold Schwarzenegger is Little Tortilla Boy!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9pAv-z2ens - Akbad, on 09/02/2008, -0/+7I do professional voice-over today because of Don. He is STILL the master! RIP. I will miss him... and that voice... The Voice of GOD!
- pryoee4, on 09/02/2008, -0/+6Wow... this is the first time I have ever seen a news story on Digg before seeing it on CNN, MSNBC or other sites. There wasn't even BREAKING NEWS: in the title!
- zionKing, on 09/02/2008, -0/+6He was so serious sounding without taking himself too seriously. He embodied the saying "it's nice to be important, but more important to be nice." We'll miss you Don!
- pyr0x, on 09/02/2008, -0/+6You are being buried for being an inconsiderate douche bag.
Thanks! - GLMonkey, on 09/02/2008, -0/+6GET DOWN!!!
- Brusimm, on 09/02/2008, -0/+6R.I.P. good sir.
The silence, will be deafening. - IphtashuFitz, on 09/02/2008, -0/+5That bit about how he figured he could play the father of all his fellow classmates on the phone made me laugh out loud:
"Sorry, Jimmy can't come to school today. He's sick." - inactive, on 09/02/2008, -1/+5"where both our cars were totally underwater..."
- inactive, on 09/02/2008, -0/+4
They should if they know what's good for them. - zenmastr, on 09/02/2008, -0/+4Here's to you Don, this trailer always reminded me of you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVDzuT0fXro
- bbrassi, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3The world of movie trailers has just lost its golden son. RIP Don.
- SimmaDownNow, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3Is Death opening a movie studio or something? Who is next; Abe Vigoda?
- demonred, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3His voice will be missed, and so will he.
I don't think watching trailers will be the same anymore. - colto, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3And that's why we have Digg.
- AlexWiggy, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3RIP Don.
I think everyone was getting to the stage where they knew how to say movie titles even before the trailer was released. - RodgerE1, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3Crappy movies will be even worse now.
RIP - Peko, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3One Man... who is never going to give you up...
- assbeard, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3without the movie trailer guy, one industry is changed... forever
- Hoogs, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3Apparently about 1,010 people, all of whom are worth more than you.
- Br3ach, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3Lame, movie trailers will just feel weird with someone else at the helm. RIP
On the upshot, maybe he can voice for God now :) - RaulMuadDib, on 09/02/2008, -1/+4I miss Phil Hartman and his wonderful voice.
- sailadayaway, on 09/02/2008, -1/+3Gilbert Gottfried
- Drull, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2Uh
It's not really supposed to be about which video is "funnier". It's a tribute. - Pluckie, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2hilarious video showing the funnier side of don:
