Movie trailers will never be the same...

The man with probably the most recognizable voice has died. He died from complications of some illness, although the illness wasn't stated. It is going to be weird to not hear his deep voice during trailers anymore. He even did a Geico commercial.

O....M....G....
Well, at least his name and voice will be forever etched into the annals of cinema history.

Oddly enough, I have often wondered who would replace him when this day came.

I always thought Peter Cullen would be a good choice.

His death was, for me, very unexpected. He was not that old. What a great voice and from what the news services are reporting a pretty good guy.

This makes a movie buff like me genuinely sad.

The Man, the Myth, the Legend.

Sad news indeed.
