Biography
"Human sound-effects machine"
Michael Winslow first achieved prominence on the standup comedy circuit in the early '80s. The African-American Winslow went on to a few TV guest spots, including an impressive "straight" role as an emotionally disturbed student on The White Shadow.

Police Academy movie raunchfests of the 1980s, wherein
Michael Winslow was cast as Sgt. Lavel Jones.
