"In A World Not of Tomorrow But of Today"


We mourn the loss of Don LaFontaine.

This is the one guy whose name you might not know but whose voice is stuck indelibly in your mind.

Don LaFontaine whose looks might not have been known to you either recently starred in a Geico commercial being one of those celebrities who told real; person's stories in their own voices.

He was no peter Frampton, nor was he a Verne Troyer, nor was he a Peter Graves or Little Richard but he was as known to us as some of our friends.

He was the guy in the previews in the movies who started off "In a world of tomorrow" or some such phraseology.

He was the undisputed master of his art and he died Monday at the age of 68 years old.

Don, you will be missed. Movie Trailers will not be the same.
