R.I.P. Art Gilmore

[senseless]

Art Gilmore, the voice of movie previews, just passed away at age 98. He defined the classic announcer style.

Is he the one with that deep voice that could make any movie sound good during the previews?

 

[senseless]

Yes. Look for the Vertigo trailer on Youtube as an example.

Now I know who you are talking about. His announcing style definitely is a classic. Though he is not the guy I was thinking of. The guy I was thinking of I have heard more recently in theaters and has that extremely deep voice that would put Barry White to shame.

Fortunately he lived a very long life. Prayers to his family.

You're thinking of Don LaFontaine, who passed away in '08.
