Fred Stinson

Fred Stinson as a Canadian actor, puppeteer, suit performer, and puppet builder who did characters on the Canadian co-production of Sesame Street, Sesame Park. He has also worked with the Muppets for three projects, A Muppet Family Christmas, The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years, and on Just For Laughs. Fred seems to be incredibly talented wearing a costume and holding a puppet. Stinson has also puppeteered on the Creature Shop series, Brats of the Lost Nebula. I wonder why he didn't work with the Muppets as often as his friends Robert Mills or Gordon Robertson did. He would have been great as a Muppet performer himself then a puppeteer. Outside of the Muppets and Sesame Park, Fred Stinson has worked on several different projects involving puppets, costumes, and make-up effects. Shows like The Big Comfy Couch, Groundling Marsh, Ruffus the Dog, and many other different productions over the years. I wonder if he liked it better when he's performing a puppet or being inside a costume, since it would be hard seeing out for the latter. Fred has also worked on productions in the horror genre like Goosebumps and Bride of Chucky. Not only is Stinson an expert when it comes to kids but for adults as well. Some of his latest projects include Cult of Chucky, The Stanley Dynamic, and Odd Squad. Let's just hope he'll perform with the Henson Company again someday. Fred Stinson, not only are you great with or without Muppets, but you're also great with people of all ages. Keep up the fantastic work and always remember the friends you've made, such as Ron Stefaniuk on Goosebumps. Don't you ever stop puppeteering until you're ready. Well done Fred! Real spooky Stinson!

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...

Gordon Robertson is a Canadian puppeteer who has performed on and off with the Muppets for many years. His most notable work with them was on Fraggle Rock as the body of Pa Gorg and various other characters on the series. Gordon has also performed with the Muppets on The Jim Henson Hour, The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years, The Muppets Wizard of Oz, and more. Robertson even performed on the Sesame Street film Follow That Bird and it's Canadian co-production Sesame Park. His Creature Shop work has placed him on TNMT II, The Neverending Story, and Cats & Dogs. Outside of his work with the Muppets, he performed with Shari Lewis on Lamb Chop's Play-Along and The Charlie Horse Music Pizza. Apart from her, Gordon Robertson did various other shows, his most notable ones were Zoboomafoo and Groundling Marsh.

Amanda Glass

Amanda Glass is a British puppeteer and costume maker who puppeteered on season 1 of Sooty (2011) as well as part of the third season. She also puppeteered on the Sooty video Sooty: The Big Day Out as well as making many of the puppets' costumes on the series. Besides doing Sooty, Amanda was also an additional puppeteer on Mongrels for three episodes. I personally think Glass should have puppeteered on a project by either the Muppets or the Henson Company (mostly in the Creature Shop). It's currently unknown what the performer looks like since the picture above either has her on camera or under one of the puppets. On both Sooty and Mongrels, other puppeteers she performed with include Iestyn Evans, Yvonne Stone, Simon Buckley, and Toby Olie, to name a few. Maybe someday Amanda Glass will have her chance to meet one of the Muppet performers in the UK or maybe she will learn about the Henson Company online. Nobody really knows whatever happened to her after 2018 when she did seas...
