This is a total bummer because Don Lafontaine was so major in the voiceover world and literally did thousands of movies and other television shows. He died following complications from a collapsed lung.

LaFontaine, known as the “King of Voiceovers” and famous for the line “in a world…” in movie trailers, died Monday at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, according to several broadcast reports and his agent.

That agent, Vanessa Gilbert, told “Entertainment Tonight” he passed away following complications from a collapsed lung. The official cause of death hasn’t been released.

The movie previews won’t quite be the same and that voice will be missed by millions.
