John Moschitta, Jr. was not very well known when Federal Express' ad agency hired him for this 1981 ad. However, he gained a reputation as the fastest talker on the planet because of this ad.
John would later go on to do other ads, not specifically because he can talk super fast, but he did use his schtick to sell Matchbox's Micro Machines toys.

That's Simon Oakland doing the wrap-up announcement, as he did on nearly all FedEx ads up until his own passing.
Did not know he had that gig, in addition to all of his character roles. TIL.
