Possibly an unpopular viewBut I think he personified a whole lot of the problems the American motion picture industry has been suffering from for about the last 20+ years.
The same thing repeated over each film with only a few words needing changing, He/she Hope/hate war/disaster and ad infinitum. Rigid moral code, and a set boundary in terms of what the viwer needs explained to them.
Even obits have noted how little he deviated the script between films, Not his fault as often he was commenting over a homogonised buddy/ war/ action/ romcom anyway.
I am sure he was great bloke an all, he had a massive talent and his death is a horrible thing I understand.

Edit: Fair point. But, as he said in an interview once, you have a certain amount of time to tell the audience that this is where this film is set and this is the situation. What could have been a convoluted "The year is 3786, there is a man living in a turbulent world where gibbons wait outside his door to punch his lights out because of a nuclear disaster has frazzled their minds..." turns into "In a post apocalyptic world where gibbons have gone ga-ga".
He just did the voice over the trailers. He didn't make the films.

Yeah understoodIt just a mental link. I associate his voice to sitting in the dark through 16 minutes of carbon copy trailers with the same swooping opening shot, and same number of cuts, closeup to grimacing hero's face.
