Truly a legend. For those who have never seen this great video:



(though it's a shame the guy who's arguably the 2nd biggest voice in the biz, Hal Douglas, isn't even seen but only heard on the phone in this for two seconds)

They were saying on the radio this morning, in terms of the number of contracts signed, LaFontaine is the most prolific SAG member in guild history, the guy just never stopped working.

Voice over guys and the editing department are the reason 90% of all trailers kick more ass than the actual movies do.
