          No not Vic. More recent. I think he also did sounds like a mechanical adding machine.

              The one on Police Academy?

              If so, don't remember his name, but he was/is talented in the noise department!

                  No, not that guy. This guy was middle age, and balding.

                      Are you thinking of Michael Winslow, or maybe Jonathan Winters?

                          Is it Herb Dixon? I saw the typewriter routine years ago but don't remember if this is the guy or not.

                                  What's a typewriter? Does it have a sound? How can it have a sound if we don't even know what it looks like?

                                  Does this guy sound like a smith corona or a Selectric III?

                                  If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

                                      This is a woodworking forum, he obviously sounds like an Underwood!

                                          Just a thought, it sounded ironic to me.

                                          Anyway, there is only ONE typewriter sketch:
