Honestly, who has never stopped in a dark parking lot sometime after midnight, keys in hand, shivering, and wondered "whatever happened to that Micro Machines guy?"
Well, John Moschitta, Jr., the tied-for-first fastest talker in recorded history (that's RECorded history -- as in Guinness Book), has done some stuff since Micro Machines, including the voice of Blurr in Transformers, and appearing in the episode "Shoe" on Adult Swim's Robot Chicken.
Also, according to Wikipedia, "John "Mightymouth" Moschitta recorded a humorous take on 10 classic novels in which he summarizes each book's entire story in approximately one minute. Included in this collection, entitled Ten Classics in Ten Minutes, is Herman Melville's Moby-Dick; William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet; F Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby; Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind; and John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath."
Apparently, these came out on CD in 2004, so I suspect they're available for any of us to hear. I know I'D like to hear them. I may even consider putting them on an infinite loop in the E.T. room.
I'm glad to hear he's getting work, and especially awesome work like this. It can't be easy, being the world's "-est" anything.
There are probably other fast talkers out there, and some of them may have caught our fancies on occasion.
Just remember: If he doesn't say Micro Machines, he's not the real thing.
