Yes...we only update for obituaries now

I just heard (and sorry, this is four days late) that one of the greatest voice-over artists of our time, Don La Fontaine, has passed away at a rather young age. You know him as the "In a world..." trailer guy.

Allow me to post the videos making the rounds of all the geek blogs where you've no doubt already seen them.

Please note that Don is only one of the two famous "In a world..." guys. The other one is Hal Douglas:

Of course, Don's voice has almost become a parody of itself. Right, Pablo Francisco?

R.I.P. Don.

Hat tip to Theater Hopper, who probably is right about Don's current job.
