Default Voiceover legend Don LaFontaine passed away Monday.

One of the most recognizable voices in history.

man,I was hoping we had a few more good years of Don's... I remember the first time I realized it was the same guy's voice on EVERYTHING about 15 years ago. I wonder if it will be one man who replaces him, or if it will be spread out?

RIP

All you guys in the states will remember the Geico Insurance commercial made fairly recently.

RIP. He was awesome. Pablo Franciscos imitation of him is pretty funny.
