Fergie L. Philippe

Fergie L. Philippe is an actor, puppeteer, writer, and director who performed for both stage and screen for many years. His two most notable shows were the Broadway production of Hamilton and the 2023 Lincoln Center staging of Camelot. Fergie didn't really perform on Sesame Street, but he did appear as an extra in the 2025 Sesame Street special Cookie Monster's Bake Sale: Block Party. Philippe probably felt honored to make an appearance on the set of such an iconic show, as well as stand next to one of the performers, Sebastiano Ricci to be precise. His theatrical puppet work includes Anika's Elephants (that involved Martin P. Robinson, Pam Arciero, and Annie Evans) and the Muny's 2024 production of The Little Mermaid (performing Sebastian under the direction of John Tartaglia). As for television and film, he appeared on-screen in The Good Flight, The Gilded Age, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, so far, the only television projects he did in his career. Fergie L. Philippe is probably still new at working on screen than on stage, since he's done the latter more than the former. Some of his other stage acting credits include The Connector, Legally Blonde, Frozen, Twelfth Night, and numerous others. His site says that in January 2025, he directed a short film called An Unlikely Hero, written by Emilo Rodriguez that was shown at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts. I wonder what other projects Fergie wrote and/or directed for throughout his career. Hopefully at some point in the future Philippe will appear on Sesame Street proper, you never know when new puppeteers will be needed. And if not puppeteers, then he'd make a perfect extra in the background of future episodes. But in the meantime, he should continue to act and puppeteer for stage and screen. Fergie L. Philippe, you're doing wonderful so far in the world of theatre because you're learning something new in the industry every day. Even though you've appeared only once on Sesame Street, that doesn't mean it won't happen again in the future. And you got to meet the Sesame Street Muppets in that appearance. That's a plus Fergie. Keep on working Philippe!

Heather Quinn

Heather Quinn is a British puppeteer, cosplayer, singer, and gossiper who did many puppet characters for social media. She is also the only puppeteer who does cosplay, in other words, dresses and acts like their favorite character from a show. Heather also has a love for anything vintage, which I personally find to be unique for a person to like things from the past. Quinn hasn't done anything Muppet-related in her life, in fact she's probably never even heard of the Muppets or the Henson Company. However she has puppeteered many times for social media such as TikTok and Instagram. One of her puppets resembles an Ewok from the Star Wars franchise, which could give a clue that she's a Star Wars fan as well. In addition to puppetry, Heather Quinn has been gossiping on her website about her activities, her travels, as well as her habit of drinking tea. She's also sung all of Sondheim's Company, Into the Woods, and Sweeney Todd, as stated by her on her own website. Ther...

Claire Roi Harvey

Claire Roi Harvey is a puppeteer and performer whose only Henson Company show she ever worked on was The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. I don't know why she hasn't performed in other Henson projects or even assisted the Muppets for Muppets Most Wanted. Clare has been a puppeteer for film, TV, theatre, and commercials. Outside of The Dark Crystal, she has worked on various other projects such as Feeling Better, three Star Wars films, and Doctor Who, to name a couple. She must have been pretty lucky to work with many creature/puppeteer teams bringing incredible characters to life. Harvey at least had a chance to perform with many Muppet puppeteers such as Damian Farrell, Brian Herring, Dave Chapman and many more. Claire is probably a pretty busy woman to perform in many productions either on-screen or on-stage that feature puppetry. She seems to be like most Muppet performers, and that's performing well with both children and adults for television and film. Harvey also does...

Ted Michaels

Ted Michaels is a puppeteer and improv actor who has been a puppeteer for the Henson Company since 2006. His Henson Alternative projects include Puppet Up, The Simian Undercover Detective Squad (as Yeager), and No You Shut Up! Ted's only Muppet work was on The Muppets (2015) uncredited. Other than puppetry, Michaels is also an alum of the Groundlings Theater in Los Angeles. Some of his stage credits include One Word Improv, Boy From Mars, MADtv, According to Jim, and more, plus a lot of commercial appearances. His latest work with Henson Alternative was performing Ezra and a Sexist Thug and being core puppeteer in the film The Happytime Murders. I wonder why Ted Michaels hasn't performed in any other projects featuring the Muppets. He was probably busy working in a stage show with the Groundlings Theater. In addition to being a puppeteer and improv actor, he is also a writer who only wrote on two shows for its two channels, Mike Tyson Mysteries on Adult Swim and Bucket and Skin...
