I'm a big LaFontaine fan too, but Hal Douglas has always had his own lane. If anyone picks up LaFontaine's business, it's Ashton Smith. You hear him on every action thriller, which was totally LaFontaine's territory.
First time I met Hal at Sound Hound in NYC, I almost wet myself like a little school girl. Hal just went into that booth and started talking. I think I learned more in ten minutes of watching him work than I did in a year behind the mic. I do understand this, nobody has ever read a trailer like Hal and his delivery will easily remain the most recognizable voice in the trailer industry.
@Ecksntrick8 - Bullshit. Hal Douglas started doing voice-overs about a decade before LaFontaine. The only reason people like you even know who Don LaFontaine was is because of the Geico commercial.

In a world where Don LaFontaine has transcended this mortal coil, Hal Douglas will have some mighty big shoes to fill.

I would either take Hal Douglas or Will Lyman to narrate my life. Those 2 are the best voice overs.

This guy's ok. But he doesnt have the range of Don. I think Ben Patrick Johnson is the new Don.
