Happy Birthday to the unforgettable Don LaFontaine, the voice that convinced millions of us that even our most ordinary days were worthy of an epic movie trailer! With your legendary "In a world..." openings, you've single-handedly made grocery shopping trips and boring commutes sound dramatically Oscar-worthy.From action-packed video game trailers to blockbuster film previews and countless thrilling TV commercials, your voice is embedded in our pop-cultural hearts forever. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with enjoyment so epic it deserves its own trailer—complete with dramatic pauses and mind-blowing special effects.
Cheers to another year narrating life's grand adventure!
