MICHAEL WILNSLOW (Police Academy films, Gremlins, Spaceballs) will be joining Tucson Comic-Con as a special guest! Known as the “man of 10,000 sound effects”, Michael Winslow solidified himself as a pop culture icon when he played the hilariously mischievous Larvelle Jones in the Police Academy franchise. Michael’s unique, wacky brand of comedy alongside his unparalleled gift as a voicetramentalist is what makes him so well loved around the world. A respected comedian and actor of both television and film, Michael is also a staple in other realms of entertainment such as voiceovers and stand-up comedy. This versatility has enabled him to travel from country to country leaving audiences breathless from laughing and astonished by his superhuman sound making talent.

More celebrity guest announcements will follow in the near future! Autograph signings, photo opportunities and other surprises are scheduled.
