You might not recognize his face, but you certainly know his voice… Don LaFontaine was the narrator of thousands of movie previews, giving him the title of “The Trailer King.” Below is a little self-parody he did in a GEICO commercial…

And here is an interview with him and some of his peers…

LaFontaine died Monday. There are many voiceover actors who sound like LaFontaine, but he will be impossible to replace… “In a world without Don LaFontaine, the silence is deafening…”

Let’s hear it for uncommon sense: that inner itch that inspires us to stray from the herd, ditch the training wheels, and leap into the fast lane. After all, it’s the risk takers who get featured and interviewed. No one ever remembers who won “honorable mention.” And in today’s saturated marketspaces, the greatest risk is taking no risk at all.

So whether you’re seeking enlightenment or just entertainment, pull up an Eames, pour yourself a cold one, and enjoythe latest uncommon sense — and our 2 cents — from Atomic Tango Founder & Professor Freddy Tran Nager and friends. Our 300+ posts are sometimes serious, satirical, skeptical, even silly, but never stale.
