Voice-over legend Don LaFontaine, famous for his deep, gravelly voice and for making the phrase "In a world..." a famous movie trailer line died on September 1st, 2008. Reports say that he died of a collapsed lung, a fate that befell another star this year, Rand B legend Issac Hayes. The loss of one of the world greatest voice-over actors has affected me the greatest out of any of this year's untimely deaths, yet I find solace that Don is up there somewhere with Mel Blanc looking down on the VA's of the future.

Goodnight, sweet prince...

Holy crap the movie guy died? That sucks. R.I.P.

Well, we've all gotta go eventually. Not sure I'll be able to look at some trailers trhe same though.
