Heh! It's me, I swear! Just sayin'...

I came across a YouTube video in which Dave Goelz & Brian Henson watched scenes from 'Muppets Christmas Carol' & commented on it. Fun to watch, but at the same time it made me a little sad. Whenever one of Steve Whitmire's characters came on they referred to just the character & made no...

I attended a Muppet workshop at Walt Disney World in 1990 with a bunch of other hopefuls. We were trained for a week by Steve Whitmire & Kevin Clash. They were both friendly & kind to all involved. Years later I worked as a background puppeteer on 'Muppets From Space' & met Steve again. We...

I always liked Beauregard, Crazy Harry & Big Bird.

Nope, I just performed that particular puppet in the beach scenes. When the puppets don't speak, anybody can perform them.

No, I wasn't Piggy's camera guy, Chip was holding a camera in the scenes I worked on.

Not sure, the puppet was in good shape & the eye-blink mechanism worked fine.

Yes! That's the guy. Thanks so much, I've wanted to know his name for years. And yes, his pupils did blink. A very cool character!

Indeed! It also helps to have projects, hobbies to work on to pass the time.

Thanks, very kind of ya!

I've struggled with depression my whole adult life. The only thing that's helped so far is medication. But it isn't 100% effective all the time.

Aw shucks, thanks! Just wish I knew that lil' guy's name.

That was me! I was in the beach scene, holding a camera.

I only worked on 'Muppets From Space.' I don't know the puppet's name, but he had a cone-shaped head with no nose, prominent teeth & big bulgy eyes. Anyone know the name of this character?

After seeing the finished product, I was less than thrilled. But the movie did have some good points, I especially enjoyed the scenes with all the characters at the house & on the beach (I worked on the beach scenes). And everyone I talk to tells me they really enjoyed the film, but then again...

Bittersweet. It was great to work with the Muppets, of course. But being a pro puppeteer is less than ideal, unless you're one of the main puppeteers. Otherwise, the jobs are few & far between.

I was once a Muppet puppeteer, you all can talk to me here. I never performed any of the major characters though, I was only a background guy.

I respect any & all opinions, definitely.
