September 17th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Yesterday, I got to use the term “throwing the horns” while putting together an upcoming press release for work. I’m going to go ahead and mark that day in the “win” column. Not bad.

Don LaFontaine, the King of Voiceovers, passed away in Los Angeles on Monday at the age of 68. Don died of complications relating to a collapsed lung.
Don’s magical voice appeared on over 5,000 movie trailers and 350,000 commercials. […]
