Wow I always took for granted the voice overs of movie trailers and such. I recognize his voice from many of the trailers for movies I have seen. He will surely be missed.

I think anybody in the voice over industry sees Don as a mentor. Such a sad day.

Sad sad news today. My voiceover work will never be able to compete.

I'm saddened to learn of Don's passing. His face may not have been easy to pick out of a crowd (well, before his Geico commercial anyway), but few could admit to not recognizing that amazing voice. Thank you for posting the video links - they are great tributes to Don's body of work.

Its a shame to see him go. He truly is a legend. Now that he's gone hopefully they'll grab Pablo Francisco to do voiceovers. He does Don's voice very well.

I was one of his biggest fans, and it's very sad. I work in the radio/TV business and am a voice over talent on the side and I have always appreciated his voice for movie trailers. He may have been THE best voice guy, and definitely in the Top 5. I'm no where close to as good as he is but I have always had him as an idol when I do voice overs.

In a world where you will be remembered forever. You're the reason why we get excited when we watch movie trailers. You're the voice that no one will ever forget. RIP Don
