IDK! Ok, you don't have to be a fan to know his name is Jim Henson. Some people...

I thought his name was Jim Benson?

or Frank Oz who? *bangs head on desk*

Star Wars fans at least tend to know who he is and that he's a Muppet performer (even if they're not sure what characters lol).

"wow I didn't know Piggy was voiced by a man." A man?!! I mean really! Sad thing is is the people I've come in contact with claim their huge Muppet fans. ><

Yeah, I read a similar YouTube comment the other day, someone was saying that Frank Oz was one strange individual because he plays Miss Piggy, a man playing a female pig.

I responded to the troll saying, Miss Piggy may be female on the outside, but she's definitely a man on the inside.

Or she's a female who knows what she wants in life.

According to Kevin Clash, when Frank was passing over his characters for Kevin to perform in MTI, Frank described Piggy to him as a truck driver wanting to be a woman.

Yes. Not only that, but Frank has also said that Piggy is so outlandish a character, she can really only be played by a man.

I don't know if a woman could never play Piggy; bottom line it would just have to be someone who is able to see the humor in a diva sort of character and not worry about being politically correct, yet also make her vulnerable.

Well, as far as the latter goes, Frank has also said that when he performs Piggy, it "comes from pain", because she does have that slight level of vulnerability which comes from pain, so he has to dig deep within himself to find that pain and transfer that to her.

Definitely, I think that's what's missing from our pop culture art today. Our pop culture avoids pain, or pretends to have pain but doesn't have a clue.
