James Murray

James Murray | Muppet Wiki | Fandom
James Murray is a freelance puppeteer, voice actor, filmmaker, and singer. He has occasionally done work for various Henson/Muppet productions. For the Muppets, James was an additional puppeteer on Muppets Tonight, Muppet Classic Theater, Muppet*Vision 3D, and The Muppets (2011). Murray's job with Henson includes Dinosaurs (playing refrigerator creatures and members of the hearing board) and Telling Stories with Tommie dePaola (playing the Rabbit). He seems to assist the Muppets more than on occasion the same with Henson. He has even worked on the Henson Alternative production Late Night Buffet where he assisted Tyler Bunch. Outside of the Muppets, James Murray co-created, produced, wrote, directed, and performed on The Adventures of Timmy the Tooth. His other puppetry credits can be seen on Greg the Bunny, The Mr. Potato Head Show, The Crayon Box (which he also wrote), and Mack & Moxy, to name a few. I'm amazed that there is another puppeteer to have done over a hundred different shows that have involved puppetry. James has also done numerous film work, like on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, Men in Black, Batman Returns, and many more. Murray's voice can be heard in video games, Life with Louie, and The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars, and anime too. He seems to be a very busy man providing puppetry and lending his voice to animation games and projects. His latest Muppet work was assisting them live at both the Hollywood Bowl and the O2 Arena, both which feature the same puppeteers. James Murray, you've made a star out of yourself by doing so much. Your latest work Duckwalksintoabar, Puppet Guru, and The Barbarian and the Troll have put so much life in you. There isn't anything you can't do at all. Well done James. Keep your smiles clean Murray!

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...

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...
