I would hope so. After all, without him, the art of the movie trailer would be a lot different. He always bought great emotion to his announcing. I've uploaded hundreds of trailers to this website, and I heard her his voice many times. One can only wonder what'll happen now.

Mad about drumming 87 6 years 3 months ago Posts: 709	This is probably one of the deaths I'll care about the most this year...the god of movie trailers is dead. Well, there goes the honor of having him do the trailer if I ever release a movie.
