Cool.

This one may be a bit easy. Who was originally going to play Big Bird?

Nope. Remember, Frank didn't like doing full body characters.

Oops. I heard something that he was offered the role of BB, but turned it down due to his experience as the La Choy Dragon.

Jim Henson?

Doing a little research, I've decided to accept that answer. I was actually thinking Jim Henson, but it was offered to Frank. So you're up!
