What? Not a single mention of Jim Henson and Frank Oz?
True-they were/are great, I grew up watching "The Muppet Show" & their movies.

And how about that bloke who's done the voice-over for more than 3000 movie previews?
Don LaFountaine (spelling ?), aka "The Voice of God"- i.e. portentious pronouncements in preview set-ups, openers such as "in a time...", "in a place...", "in a world...". Seen recently in Geico ads on tv, pairing him with a "real person".
Some of my favorites:
Will Lyman, narrator for PBS's "Frontline", seen on an episode or 2 of Law & Order.
Stacy Keach, does lotsa' documentary voice-overs esp. since his acting career has ebbed.
Liev Schrieber, does stuff for PBS shows despite plenty of acting roles.
Richard Kiley, did narration for PBS's "Nature" program until he died-like his resonant voice.
