Is he actually Canadian? I know Gobo is...

And wasn't it Jerry who performed Sprocket? I may be 100% wrong there...

No, Steve Whitmire did Sprocket. But he better not pick him up if Doc isn't there.

Dunno about his conditions, but i was just watchin The Boondock Saints n he plays in it... havn't gotten far into the film... but he seemed more then just a minor character... whats intresting is his character's name is Doc...

If anyone has seen the movie... they too would wonder if both doc n Sprocket have gotten too old... old where Doc is goin skitso and sprocket is dead

how do the muppets feel? :embarrassed: :concern: :excited:

IMDB has him still doing movies... last one was in 2004... Saint Ralph n he played ??Longboat??

Y'know the writers are gonna be really unhappy that we've guessed the big suprise about what they're gonna do with the Gorgs ..... they're gonna have to change it now, poor Snoop Dog, canned from TWO Muppet films now!

Hey Bo... To answer your questions...
Jerry Nelson is from the state of Oklahoma, USA.
Gobo Fraggle might not be Canadian per say, but given his dialectical mannerisms I'd say it's perfectly OK to think of him as honorarily being of Canadian heritage.
Steve Whitmire performs Sprocket, not Jerry.
Is okay though... You make a booboo like I made a booboo. Is no worries hokay.

Stumbled across the new Fraggle Rock movie trailer...

Coming soon... The Fraggle Rock Movie!

Check out our new theme song as performed by The Backstreet Boys!

Everybody! (yeah!)
Rock your body! (yeah!)
Everybody,
Fraggle Rock is back.
Fraggle Rock is back!

Witness the Fraggle gang embark on a dangerous mission into outer space! ... and it's really outer space!!!

"Hey, Gobo, you think the writers forgot that outer space to Fraggles is really just the human world?"
"Well, better not say anything, Wembley."

With brand new songs by your favorite musicians, including K-Fed, N'Sync, Usher, and Ludacris!

"Yo, my name is Junior, and I'm hewe to say,
All dem Fwaggles is always gettin' in my way!
Dey hippin' and hoppin' and playin' all the time,
Not to mention dey always bustin' on my whymes!"

Hitting a theater near you, 2008!

My apologies to anyone who might have been frightened by this.
