XERUS'S VOICE ARTIST FOCUS:

This week I'm focusing on Paul Rugg. You may have seen him as a puppeteer in the Jim Henson special, Puppet Up. Before that, Paul was a cartoon writer and one of the funniest voice artists I've ever heard. He can do Jerry Lewis's voice really great.

I really admire how he became a puppeteer after years of knowing him for his work in cartoons! That's just so awesome!

WHOA! I really gotta see Puppetup! Someone who worked for Animaniacs AND Henson?

Does he do his weird foreigner voice as a puppeteers?

He'd be perfect to recast Marvin Suggs, actually....

I can't remember if Paul did any foreign voices in Puppet Up. In fact, I didn't know it was Paul at first until they mentioned the names of the Muppeteers at the end of the show. I was surprised to see the name, Paul Rugg.
