A voice that you might have heard on televison and film trailers thousands of times is silent today. Don LaFontaine, known for his catch phrase “In a world…,” died Monday. He has been on hundreds of commercials and thousands of movie trailers in his 33 year career of voice over.

LaFontaine died Monday from complications of treatment from ongoing illness, LaFontaine’s agent announced.

Jenthony Media, which owns WRAJ Internet Radio and Vidgle, was arranging to have LaFontaine voice series of promos for its podcast network, which includes Vidgle and the WRAJ Internet Radio podcast which is launching this month, and the new WRAJ Internet Radio website, which is expected to launch a year from now. A replacement has not yet been announced.

LaFontaine is survived by his wife and three daughters.
