does anybody know if sully had a regular performer after richard hunt died, or if he was normally just performed by whoever was availible to perform him? I know that he made a few appearances since richard hunts death. there was an episode from 1994 where biff and sully appear at the park in a few scenes throughout the show (the main plot involved ruthie buying little boy blues horn, and the episode ended with biff announcing little boy blues horn as a sponsor). sullys last new appearance was in a 1998 episode where biff and sully drilled part of the street. sully also appeared in sesame streets all-star 25th birthday: stars and streets forever and elmopalooza.

anyway, does anybody know who performed sully? I wouldn't be surprised if it was david rudman, since he took over some of richard hunts other characters (sonny friendly, the two-headed monster). or maybe it was joey mazzarino, since he had only performed for a few years before richard hunt died. or maybe it was a background performer, like jim martin, rick lyon (although if he did regularly perform sully then I am sure that he would have mentioned it on his website and/ or showed pictures of himself performing sully) or bryant young.

No, only Richard did Sully. Just about anyone could've done Sully, but still, it must have been another one of those performances only between Jerry and Richard. They were quite a team.
