Muehl or Meehl

[Splurge]

What's the official name of the former muppeteer, Brian Muehl or Brian Meehl? I think I've even read it as Brian Nuel.

Also, is there a reason for why the spelling in his credited name varies?

Brian Muehl changed his name to Brian Meehl, which is how it was always pronounced. I believe he did it to avoid conversations like this! So Muehl was correct, but now Meehl is correct. Nuel is way off.

Thanks. I didn't realize it was always pronounced sounding like "meal" with a long E, but now I know.

While we're at it, for so many Muppet projects in the 70s and 80s, Caroll Spinney is credited as "Carroll". What was up with that? Surely they didn't mis-spell his name for so long without it being noticed
