Patrick Johnson

Patrick Johnson is a puppeteer, illustrator, and puppet designer/builder who like his twin brother Sean Johnson has worked with Jim Henson's Creature Shop since 2005. Patrick and Sean were additional puppeteers in The Muppets (2011), Muppets Most Wanted and in the last episode of The Muppets in 2015. Both brothers were also puppeteers in the "Do It Anyway" music video featuring the five main Fraggles and when the Muppets made an appearance in a Warburtons commercial. It's very rare that there are twin puppeteers who perform in almost every project together. Patrick has also worked with his brother in Henson Alternative, designing, building, and performing puppets for Puppet Up, Late Night With Augie and Del, Stuffed and Unstrung, Alt/Reality, and many more. Johnson has also been in the Glow in the Dark Tour building the giant monster. Outside of Henson and the Muppets, Patrick has created the puppet company Swazzle with Sean Johnson. He puppeteered in the same amount of shows as Sean has including The Simpsons, Mack & Moxy, Crank Yankers reboot, and The Pee-Wee Herman Show, to name a few. All of those shows have puppets, costumes, and props by Swazzle. He also worked with Sean in The Happytime Murders for Henson Alternative two years ago. I just can't believe that there would be twin puppeteers who perform in almost every project involving puppets with each other. The only time that Patrick Johnson did not perform with his brother was in the film Forgetting Sarah Marshall as only Sean was in. Patrick seemed to be the one of those puppeteers to have siblings that also puppeteer as Jim Henson had a wife and kids who've puppeteered, or at least most of them puppeteered. Anyway, it looks like the Johnson twins make a good team when it comes to puppets and creating Swazzle. Perhaps when the Muppets make another project, he could be their assistant alongside his brother and they would work together. Patrick Johnson, you've made a star out of yourself like your twin brother Sean. Keep on working at Swazzle and whatever you do, don't stop designing, building, and performing puppets. I find your puppetry very perfect Mr. Patrick Johnson!
