Hal Douglas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hal Douglas is a voice actor who has lent his deep voice to many movie trailers and television commercials. He has been described by a Miramax publicist as "perhaps the most recognizable trailer voice in the business." audio clip (MP3)
He is sometimes mistaken for Don LaFontaine, although Douglas has a more gravelly voice. Unlike most movie trailer announcers, Douglas is based in New York City instead of Los Angeles.
Douglas is known in the film industry as the "In a world..." guy because many of his trailers start with these words (although LaFontaine says he actually created the phrase). In addition, Douglas has been the promotional voice for the former WB and A&E.
Hal Douglas can be seen parodying himself in the trailer for Jerry Seinfeld's film Comedian.
