My picks, with seconds included for ones already mentioned:

Keith David - he should replace the guy who does the voiceovers for 75% of the movie previews and trailers in America. The "In a world..." guy as he's sometimes called.

Richard Boone
George Sanders
Peter O'Toole
Richard Harris
Anthony Hopkins
Alan Rickman
James Coburn
Robert Mitchum
and the all time king of coolest voices is

Toshiro Mifune. Like thunder in the distance at normal tones or a whisper, Like a frieght train bearing down on you when he was enraged. The one voice I wish I had instead of my own.

One for me is Mark Hamill
Just listen to the Joker from Batman the Animated series and tell me if he doesn't fit the bill. I can't believe all of the other characters he's done. It seems like everytime I turn around I'm seeing his name as voice in some cartoon.

Michael Dorn is another. I love his voice in documentaries.

Vincent Price for sure. Leonard Nemoys I've always liked (In search of..) And  I cant remember the guys name who did the voice in the twilight zone episode "To Serve Man" but his always creeped me out for some reason.

Rod Serling
Ken Nordine
Mel Blanc (or does he count?)
Phil Hartman
That one comedienne who shows up on Comedy Central every so often, who normally talks in a really squeaky voice, then launches into something completely different when impersonating someone. It's hard to describe, but the effect is totally bizarre.

There is some guy that narrates at the beginning of teasers and trailers for movies that has a rough, gravelly voice - no idea who he is, but he's got the ability to draw in the crowds

He does the voiceover for the trailer of halloween part 6 (the origin of michael meyers) on the vhs copy of THE CROW - that the one that springs to mind.

He was also the Hobgobling on the first new Spider Man series.

He gets paid a little over 4,000 dollars for every 30 seconds he speaks, talk about a lucky life. I saw a day in the life of him on Dateline once.

I cant believe we have forgotten Sean Connery, what a voice. Especially on celebrity Jeopardy

He's been dead for a while, but Jim Backus also sounded pretty cool.

This is waaaay out of left field, but I always liked Truman Capote's voice.

Eddie Deezen certainly qualifies as "unique", I don't know about "coolest".

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
