Miguel Ferrer has a good voice for the movie trailers. There's also a comedian that does an excellent imitation of LaFontaine.

Are you currently watching it?

I have the DVDs up through Cooper getting shot. I need to get the rest.

I watched TP when it was aired. It was the Sopranos before the Sopranos

Yes, currently in season two. It is a great show. I missed the boat when it was out originally. Didn't watch so much tv when I was in high school.
