"In a world..."

Don LaFontaine passed away yesterday. You may be thinking you don't know who that is, but watch (or really, listen to) the first few seconds of this video, and you'll recognize him:

It's always interesting to hear famous voice-over actors just talking

RIP, Mr. LaFontaine. I'm sure you'll be much imitated, but never duplicated.

Man, that's a shame. I watched that going, "Hey, he's pretty cool!" and "Hey, everything he says sounds like a trailer!" and "Hey, I wish I had a voice mail message like that!" - and then I re-read the part where you wrote he died. Like, way to point out someone cool after the fact.

I know, I wish I had discovered that video a long time ago. I especially like that he seems to have a sense of humor about his image.
