That was very cute and funny! I very much enjoyed it. I've only seen Don LaFontaine, who did the Geico ad but has such a famous voice. The others~except for Nick Tate~aren't all that familiar to me, and I'd like to investigate.

I do recall that Nick Tate was in the cast of "Space: 1999", a British sci fi series that starred husband and wife Martin Landau and Barbara Bain. I've seen Tate in a lot of movies and didn't realize he had become a voice artist.

Here's the information I found out about these amazing men with memorable voices. The following information is from Wikipedia:
Hal Douglas is an American voice actor best known for his work on movie trailers and television commercials.

Al Chalk is an American voice actor. He has voiced thousands of movie trailers, TV promos, commercials, and other audio presentations. He has also appeared on-camera in Hollywood films and television programs.

Mark Elliot is the primary voice-over artist for Walt Disney Entertainment. He provides voiceovers for trailers and commercials. He is well-known for his voiceovers in the Disneyland television series.

John Leader is a former DJ turned quiet and upbeat voiceover actor whose voice has narrated trailers for such films as the Back to the Future films, Notting Hill and L.A. Story, with trademark phrases like "an inspirational (person) who rises above (negative situation) to inspire (positive outcome).

Nick Tate is an Australian actor turned voiceover artist whose sonorous tones have narrated trailers for such films as Apollo 13, Jurassic Park, and Independence Day.

Don LaFontaine is a legendary voice actor famous for recording over 5,000 movie trailers, television commercials, network promotions, and video game trailers. His signature voice is both ominous and sonorous. He is often nicknamed "The King of Movie Trailers", "Mr. Voice," "Thunder Throat", "Mr. In-A-World" or "The Voice of God", and credited with helping to create the modern movie trailer. Due to the sheer volume of trailer voiceovers LaFontaine has recorded, he has become identified with the phrase "In a world...", which has been used in movie trailers so frequently that it has become a cliche'. He has also parodied this cliché several times, more recently in a commercial for GEICO insurance. LaFontaine has stated that his favorite work in a movie trailer was for the hit biopic film The Elephant Man.
