Trailers Narrated by Classic Trailer Narrator Charles Aidman (list in progress)
Charles Aidman (aka Unknown Classic Trailer Narrator #2) narrated some quite famous trailers in the 80s and the 90s, many of them for classic films like Gremlins, The Goonies and the original Beverly Hills Cop. Unfortunately, just like almost all of his talented peers, his name is unknown to most cinema fans, including those who grew up with these trailers and the films they promote. He and others like him deserve to be remembered for their brilliant work which helped create whole new generations of both film and voice actor fans. Huge thanks to Mr. Jonathan Lindsey for identifying him correctly!
