"His success can be likened to that of Don LaFontaine, one of the most iconic voiceover artists, who passed away in 2008."

I knew that Don Lafontaine did many movie trailers, but which of these guys was the originator of the "In a world..." intro?

Or did they both do it?

Great voice.

RIP Mr. Douglas.

According to WIKI:
Because many of his trailers have begun with the words "In a world", there is controversy over whether his voice has immortalized them. (Don LaFontaine claimed to have actually created the catchphrase.) In addition, Douglas has been the promotional voice for the former WB, A&E, Disney Channel's "Vault Disney" (1997–2002), and The History Channel.
