1. Morgan Freeman, maybe.
The king of the voice-over narration.

36. Donald Sutherland.
His voice is absolutely mesmorizing. And his sense of timing, is almost unparalleled. He could read from a phone book, and make it dramatic.

26. James Earl Jones or Keith David. You didn't mean the latter when you said
David Keith, did you? David Keith was the sidekick in Officer & A Gentleman. Hasn't worked a lot since.

32. Yep that was him. That scene made me cringe
He also did a good job as the voice of Al Simmons in the Spawn cartoon that was on HBO a few years ago.

...and white, black, or brown, they are ALL crazy for Sean Connery, for among other reasons, his voice.

Seriously. :shrug:

47. James Mason
when he narrated a documentary on Hollywood during the silent era. His voice had a resonant world-weary quality that has forever stuck with me.
