I dont know if anyone caught this (but I just did) Michael Gambon who plays Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter is Jim Henson's Greek Myths Storyteller! I thought it was kinda cool, thought I knew him from somewhere... :crazy:

So it was a different actor just for the Greek Myths? Huh, I didn't know that either. :confused:

I remember the dude with the dog, and he is the same actor who was Ollivander, the Wand picker-outer (hee-hee) in Sorcerer's Stone.

Great find! All my favorite fantasy actors are connected to the Muppets! :crazy:

Wow, that's cool! I didn't know that, but then again I've never seen Greek Myths! Hmmm, gotta fix that...
The storyteller from the American version was John Hurt.

This was the american version, John Hurt just did regular Storyteller and he did Greek myths- you can get both in a box set pretty cheep now. One of my favorite Jim Henson dvd's
