This business is suffused with a worrying number of people who could be beamed-up by the Klingons tomorrow, and no-one would notice the loss. Don LaFontaine was not one of them.
The name may be new to you but I can guarantee the vocals are not. In a 43-year career this modest and consummate professional added a peerless frisson of tension to over 5,000 trailers, including "Batman Returns," and "The Terminator." He also did commercial work, with his distinctive baritone in high demand by almost every major brand you can name. But despite a success that saw him shuttling between as many as ten voice-over sessions a day he remained modest about his fame and his gift - Which is one talent shared by very few in this egocentric profession!
This short video will give you a better image of this wonderful man. The Director is clearly a rabid egocentric but it gives us a fair outline of a man whose talent and guileless self-deprecation are too rare a blend to be lost to us so prematurely.
Watch for yourself, and enjoy...
