    LaFontaine, known as the "King of Voiceovers," died Monday afternoon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. LaFontaine's agent, Vanessa Gilbert, tells ET that he passed away following complications from Pneumothorax, the presence of air or gas in the pleural cavity, the result of a collapsed lung. The official cause of death has not yet been released.

    For those who don't know, this guy did over 5,000 movie trailers. (Famous for starting out with, "In a world...") It seemed like he voiced every single one.

    He could make the trailer for White Chicks sound like it was going to be Casablanca. :(

    They should have used Don instead of just his voice:
