Who were your childhood idols?

[Speed Tracer]

When I was a kid, of course, it was Jim Henson. I remember thinking he must have been a real swell guy for Kermit and the gang to keep him around so much.

Today, Jim is still one of my heroes, along with the great writer/director/actor Charlie Chaplin.

No one. I had no idols. I'm sure Marty knows what I'm talking about.

I'd have to say Robin Williams, actually. Then Jim Henson second. I always loved comedy, and I still do. He's always halarious in what he does, and even in his so called "darker films" he seems to always be funny in those as well. Then I cam to know the muppets, and Jim became my idol.

In a sense of course. Not really "idols" just people I really look up too.

Jim Henson, of course! He has been my hero pretty much my whole life. Others are Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, Dick Van Dyke, Carol Burnett, Julie Andrews and Walt Disney. Mostly Mr. Henson though.

Robin Williams, Jim Henson, Richard Hunt, Don Knotts , Ellen DeGeneres, Gilda Radner (but not so much anymore), and Whoopi Goldberg were and are rully big idols of mine.

I think the way we're reffering to is idols as in people you look up too. Not people you worship. XD Kinda a duel edged sword there.

Walt Disney and Jim Henson, for the sheer joy and entertainment they brought into what would otherwise have been a very boring, friendless childhood for me, seeing how I was always moving.
