Don LaFontaine is the king of movie trailers, having lent his talents to more than 4,000 of them. Countless times you've heard his deep, textured voice intone the phrases:

  • "In a world where..."
  • "He's a one-man army..."
  • "From the bedroom to the boardroom to..."
  • "Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. And no way out..."

Beyond simply having uttered these cliches, LaFontaine actually coined them as well -- which he now regrets.
