7Known as "The Man of 10,000 Sound Effects", he got his start early on with his impression of Jimi Hendrix (mainly his guitar, but you know what we mean) by stealing his mother's wig and going to the local club to perform.

9After his television appearance on ''Series/TheGongShow'' (which he won), Winslow went on to play Larvelle "Motormouth" Jones in the ''Film/PoliceAcademy'' movies, an unnamed radar technician in ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'', and the voices of the various Mogwai and Gremlins in the ''Film/{{Gremlins}}'' movies, among many other roles.
