The Golden Voice Silenced
Legendary voice artist Don LaFontaine, who recently spoofed himself in a well-known Geico commercial, died in a Los Angeles Monday hospital at 68. You may not have recognized the name, and a picture of him probably wouldn’t have rung much of a bell, either. But those pipes of his…oh, yes…those you’d recognize. He leaves behind a wife and three daughters, and less importantly, an amazing body of work including work in tens of thousands of commercials and movie trailers. Somehow, those coming attractions will never quite be the same ever again.
