Don Lafontaine Bio, Death, Net Worth, Wife, Voice, in a World and Geico
Who could replace LaFontaine in this holy trinity? Freeman is too obvious and has his place already. Earl Jones is to Darth Vadery and CNN-ish. John Facenda, the original “Voice of God,” has been dead for over 20 years.
Don LaFontaine, part of the holy trinity that makes up the “Voice of God” (the other two parts are James Earl Jones and, of course, Morgan Freeman) has passed away. It was sad news indeed; yet the Hollywood mantra is that the show must go on.
He was replaced by Hal Douglas. People confuse LaFontaine and Douglas all the time anyway. Douglas did a lot of “In a world …” spots too and their voices are pretty similar. If there is one guy and one guy only who can replace LaFontaine as our most beloved trailer voice guy, it’s him.
Douglas earned a lot of fans when he appeared in that great Comedian trailer. The problem is, most of them thought that was LaFontaine.
