Wow, I had no idea so many people were involved with those two, thank you!

So... any news on this yet? Does anyone know what characters will be recast and by whom the new performers will be?

Go to www.Hensondb.tk and select "Puppeteers" and write Jerry Nelson in the search field.

Waldorf
Jim Henson (1975-1990)
Craig Shemin (1990)

Who's Craig Shemin? When did he perform Waldorf?

Craig is a writter for the muppets, he is also part of Jim Hensons legacy. He did waldorf in the closing number of the muppets celebrate jim henson.

I see. Thanks for the info.

 

[Cantus Rock]

Well, with this recasting, which originals are left? All the original puppeteers are either dead or have moved on.

I can't see any future for quality Muppet material. This is truly disheartening news to return to.

Dave Goelz definitely. Steve Whitmire too. And that's it, I think.

 

[Cantus Rock]

Ah, yes Dave.

Steve I kinda consider second gen, if only because of his moving into the front ranks after Jim's passing. But yes, he has been there for quite some time.

Still doesn't negate the sadness of the situation.
