Best known for his character Sgt. Larvell "Motor Mouth" Jones in the Police Academy series of movies and TV shows, Michael Winslow has managed to make a name for himself from everything like television hits Robot Chicken and Family Guy to Geico commercials.

Michael's mastery of vocal gymnastics has allowed him to recreate not only the static of Jimi Hendrix on the guitar, but also the roar of a jet plane.

Michael is the youngest of six brothers. His mom tells stories about when he was young he would imitate the airplane noises, jet engines, basically anything that made a sound; he copied with sounds that came out of his mouth ... there was never a dull moment!

"Growing up on the Air Force Base made it difficult to have friends, so I created imaginary friends, dogs, cats, trucks, anything that would keep me occupied for the moment" says Michael.

After he graduated High School and a short-lived college career, he had his first professional performance at a club/theater in Boulder, Colorado named Tulagi's. This was very exciting for him because Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Tommy Bolin and other famous bands played there. By the way Michael does an incredible imitation of Hendrix's guitar playing.

Michael got his big chance in1984 when he was written in to the script of the unforgettable "Police Academy I through VII" As soon as this movie came out and it became an instant success so did Michael! His celebrity status was in place. He then went on to play a part in Mel Brooks "Spaceballs". This film helped in furthering his spotlight as a unique comic A man with a special talent that made "families" laugh. Michael was also heard, but not seen, when he gave the voice to Stripe, the evil little creature, in another hit movie "Gremlins"

He also did voice-overs for Disney and Universal Studios in such rides as "Back to the Future and Terminator"

Currently you can also hear him in the television hits "Robo Chicken and Family Guy" You can't miss him on those great "Geico" commercials.
