Michael Winslow for Geico

If you were watching the CBS series Without A Trace this evening, you probably saw a commercial for Geico, one of the series where they pair a celebrity to tell the regular person’s insurance claim story.

This one used “the guy who makes those funny sound effects” (we paraphrase).

,It was none other than Michael Winslow standup comic and sound effects wizard who gained fame as Sgt. Larvelle Jones in the Police Academy series of films. Winslow has been headlining comedy clubs across America the past two decades. (And just reading his IMDB profile is exhausting.)

By virtue of his inclusion in the Geico series, he has joined such august company as Bert Bachrach, Little Richard and Dan LaFontaine.
