Definitely sad news... I wonder if Pablo Francisco will continue to do his impression of Don in his act.

Many people never knew who Don LaFontaine was until the GEICO commercial he did a couple of years ago. People were able to put a face to the famous voice.



Sad to hear of his passing as well

Definitely sad news... I wonder if Pablo Francisco will continue to do his impression of Don in his act.

Actually, there's been some talk of having Pablo take over some of Don's voicing duties. They became friends within the last few years.

Really sad to hear of DLF's death.

Hollywood should do something for him, because for everyone, Don really WAS the voice of Hollywood for a generation.


Here's something in tribute:




EDIT: Here's something else on Don:

I hope Pablo does start doing voiceover work in Don's stead.
