Thought I'd resurrect and oldie but goody--the only difference being it has to be someone still alive (ie NOT John Facenda)

for me, it's easy--James Earl Jones or Morgan Freeman--they're interchangeable

Rodney Saulsberry or Joe Cipriano, two well-known names in the VO business.

Lol - if vball10set wasn't so unreasonable in the requirement to be alive, I'd pick Don LaFontaine.

Daniel Day Lewis in full Butcher Bill mode, just so that every life decision I fucked up can be narrated with that over-the-top "WHOOPSIE DAISY!!!"

Along those lines, I’d love Christoph Waltz to narrate in his storytelling pace from Inglorious Basterds. And throw in a “That’s a BINGO!!” when I do something amazing.

Clive Owen, in the same monotone, calm voice he uses at the beginning of Inside Man.
