He attended the Lisa Maile School of Acting, Modeling and Imaging. Winslow grew up at Fairchild Air Force Base where, according to his own account, he had few constant friends to call on. In order to pass his time, he would imitate the sounds of engines, animals, anything that made noise. Following his high school and college periods, he performed in nightclubs and theaters, where his sound imitation skills won him positive appraisal and enough money to move to and perform his act in Hollywood. Career His first television appearance was on The Gong Show in which he squeezed in sound - alikes of Benji the movie dog, Star Trek, and Jimi Hendrix 's `` Purple Haze ''. He is best known for his role as Sgt. Larvelle `` Motor Mouth '' Jones in the Police Academy series of movies and TV shows.
