Hal Douglas Net Worth: $10 Million

Hal Douglas was a Jewish-American voice actor who lent his baritone voice to countless commercials, trailers, and TV shows, amassing a net worth of $10 million. Born Harold Cohen in 1924, he joined the navy during World War II and later earned a drama major from the University of Miami. Douglas began his career in radio in 1950, producing voiceovers for various commercials, promos, and trailers. He made many voiceovers for documentaries and promotional voices for WB, Disney Channel, The History Channel, and A&E.

Douglas was sometimes confused with Don LaFontaine, but he made the introduction of most of his recordings “In a world…” making this his catchphrase. He was based in New York City, not Los Angeles, like most voice actors at the time. In 1988, Douglas moved to Lovettsville, Virginia where he built his own studio and got the chance to work from the comforts of his home. He was married twice and had two children. Douglas died on March 7, 2014, from pancreatic cancer.
