CNN Article


Everyone's heard his voice, yet few know his face or name.  He's most recently known as the "In a world" voice actor.  As a fledgling voice actor and voiceover artist myself, I'm extremely saddened by his passing.  I was hoping to meet him and shake his hand someday.

Rest in peace, Mr. LaFontaine.  You will be missed.

Wow, that's a blow to the industry...the man was a legend.  No one will ever be able to match his epic vocal work.  RIP

Like I said, you've heard his voice but probably don't know who he is.  He ranks up there with Mel Blanc for me.

Now I know who that deep, authoritative voice belongs to... but sadly, that voice has been silenced...
