The "Krone" met the "man of 10,000 sound effects" to talk about fan proximity, artificial intelligence and the future at the current Vienna Comic Con in Vienna-Leopoldstadt.

He thrilled audiences as the constantly chattering Larvell Jones in the cult comedy "Police Academy", delighted fans in "Spaceballs" and the German production "Zärtliche Chaoten" - now Michael Winslow was the top star of Comic Con in Vienna-Leopoldstadt for two days. The queue for autographs and photos was certainly long and spanned all generations. "It's great that I'm still bringing joy to so many people. Especially in times when humor is no longer as good as it used to be."

Winslow is known as the "man of 10,000 sound effects" and has turned his special talent into a successful career. He even drives artificial intelligence crazy with his sounds. "I could make a living just by tricking security systems when I make alarm noises." The 66-year-old doesn't do so well on airplanes. "If I imitate a dog, they immediately check all the bags."

Colorful and in a good mood: Almost 40,000 visitors were entertained at the Vienna Comic Con this year.(Bild: Starpix / A. Tuma)
