That was beautiful! Very heartfelt. You're so right, we do learn a lot about the performers just by watching the characters.
Wow, thanks. That is something I believe in strongly, that each character is some facet of the performer.

I agree. The performers aren't just the voice or puppeteer of the character, they are the character.

Yes, and that fact alone is what brings so much life into the Muppets, and the main cause of why we love them so much.

I believe Frank Oz said that at one time that you'll find a little piece of the performer in all their characters. And while I am not a big fan of Elmo *please don't flame me* I have a lot of respect for Kevin he has a big heart.
