    Today the motion picture industry lost another great artist. You may have never seen him or heard of his name, but you have heard his unmistakable voice in many commercials, promos, and movie trailers.

    Mr. LaFontaine died Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center from complications in the treatment of an ongoing illness, said Vanessa Gilbert, his agent. (Sources say that he suffered a collapsed lung.) He was 68 years old.
