I have been wondering... has John Henson ever performed any other Muppets besides Sweetums?

I wodner if John Henson has ever considered performing other characters. After all, it's not like Sweetums is needed for every production, so other characters wouldn't get in the way of Sweetums making appearances. Sweetums isn't as major or well-known as Big Bird or Bear, after all. Then again, maybe John Henson (or somebody else) only thinks he is good at full-body costumed characters.

Not much is known about John, in fact, if you look on IMDb, other than Sweetums, it just mentions Additional Muppet Performer and nothing else. John is also the fourth child to Jim and is not even included half the time when there's a mention of Jim's five children. I actually feel bad for the guy for not having that much recognition under the Henson name!

I sure would. There are times I long to get attention, but once I'm out there, it's quite nerve-wracking. I'd never want to be so famous my life is always hounded by everyone.
