Keith David
Peter Coyote

There must be others, but these are the ones that come to mind at the moment.

Completely agree on Keith David, like Peter Coyote too. Also liked Rod Serling a lot.
Ambivalent about William Hootkins. Good voice, but he seemed to end up scripted with too much hyperbole & too many absolutes.

[–] GlenEllyn (21381) 6 years ago

Oh yes, Rod Serling was a good one.

He's not necessarily a documentary narrator, but John Laroquette was great as the opening narrator of "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre."

Laurence Olivier for the 26 episodes of the World At War series. The greatest narration ever.
