Movie trailer voice guy DEAD
I am very sad to hear this news. I remember sitting in a theater one time and every single trailer had him voicing it. I’m not exaggerating.
My brother says that he is going to make a run at taking his place as the de-facto voice over guy. When I asked him what his trailers would sound like, he just said, “In a world…” and sounded exactly like him. The only other trailer voice I recognize is a higher-pitched voice guy that always seems to do quirky comedies, like “Daddy Daycare”. The music will start out like this….
Long shot of a big white house. Eddie Murphy exits door with briefcase in hand.
“Sherman Smith was just an average guy. But he had a biiiiiiggggg secret”.
Newspaper deliver boy enters from the side, throws paper, paper hits Sherman’s hand and knocks coffee all over him.
But no more will we hear that deep, sometimes soothing, sometimes menacing baritone. We’ll just have to settle for my brothers’ very good impression.
