You probably don't know him, but you definately know his voice:

[executioneer]

[Angryhydralisk]

Jesus christ, this is depressing.

[RaNkeri]

Shit :(

[Fathom Zero]

I'm sure Seth's taking this pretty hard.

[Nick]

I am not terribly sad about this.

Do you remember how he would do voiceover for comedies and make his scratchy voice sound higher and more upbeat? I remember watching a preview and then realising one day it was the same guy, just a different tone of voice.

Start watching at 3:11.

[Madonna]

That's terrible. He was so incredibly versatile, like me.

[executioneer]

he died from a collapsed lung :(

[Jeanette X]

he died from a collapsed lung :(

How did that happen? Lungs usually don't just collapse for no reason. :confused:

[RaNkeri]

Apparently he had a blood clot in his lungs which caused pneumothorax.

[Ploxtrot]

I'm depressed about this too. :(

[Madonna]

I'm depressed about this too. :(

Life is a mystery. I'm sure he's in a better place.

EDIT: Shit, someone else already posted this. Oh well.

Watch the youtube video embedded in this link. It's got this great interview with the guy. He's got an awesome sense of humor. You can tell he really loved what he did.

So who the hell is voicing the trailers now?

[Nick]

What a hack.
