I really believe if you work hard and try hard you can be what you want to be. You may never get to have your very own character with the Muppets but to be picked just to hold an arm rod is pretty good to. In any since it doesn't seem likely they will work to much more on the east coast here...

Froggiegirl I have sent lots of tapes in over the years but when it came time to send one in for Muppets from Space what got me the job (I found out later from Bill Berretta) was my lip sync saying the alphabet song. I guess that’s a great way for them to see if you can consistently have good...

I just want to say that I was a backup Puppeteer I only helped whenever they needed me to. I never did any major character alone. I usually just helped people out. That being said the highlight of the work was getting to help Steve with Kermit during one scene of the film. I have always been a...

Does anyone know how to contact Kennith Plume. I have been trying to reach him for some time but I no longer have his contact information. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Jay Tyson
