Misty Rosas

Misty Rosas is a stuntperson and suit performer who has mostly been associated with projects by the Henson Digital Performance Studio. She was the motion capture performer for various digital shows such as Sid on Sid the Science Kid, TJ in TJ Bearytales, and Lulu in Word Party. Misty also operated the body of Beary Barrington in The Country Bears with effects provided by the Creature Shop. Rosas has also worked on Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge where she was one of the performers for the first episode. I wonder if she ever considered doing regular puppetry in her life since it would make life easier for her not to wear a hot suit. Outside of the Henson, she has done many stunt works for many films such as Jingle All the Way, Van Helsing, Practical Magic, and the motion-capture feature Monster House, to name a few. Other roles Misty Rosas did included gorilla portrayals in Congo and Instinct, an alien in Altered, and various roles on The Mandalorian, her most recent project. In addition to motion capture and suit performance, she is also a singer, songwriter, and recording artist, which led to her own album entitled: Life, Lessons, Love. She's still being a dynamic and versatile artist to this very day with her vast area of performances such as songs and character roles. Though I still wish that Misty would give puppetry a try someday for the Creature Shop can give her some training maybe. Other performers Rosas worked with include Alice Dinnean, Tony Sabin Prince, Bruce Lanoil, and Terri Hardin, to name a few. She should have the title of being one of the busiest actresses across the United States. After all, she's got so much skills within herself and she's done acting, singing, and more. Misty Rosas, you're an incredibly dynamic and versatile artist with how much you've done. I hope you keep doing whatever it is you're best at like stunts, singing, or doing motion capture. I'm sure the Henson Digital Performance Studio has prepped you for the big world out there. Keep on working Misty. Feel the burn Rosas!

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

Kirk Thatcher is a director, writer, producer, designer, and puppeteer who is best known for working with the Muppets since 1987 (according to an interview). He started his career working at George Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic when he was only 18. At ILM, Kirk designed, built, painted, and puppeteered creatures for many films such as Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and Gremlins, to name a few. Later, Thatcher did many things like concept art and designs for music videos and starting a production company for director David Fincher. But his career with the Muppets started on The Jim Henson Hour as associate producer and designer of new characters before making Dinosaurs. In the 1990's he was writer and supervising producer for Muppets Tonight until he became a full-time director, starting with Muppet shorts called Muppetisms. Kirk Thatcher has also served as an additional Muppet performer for The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland. He definitely had

Cas Willing

Cas Willing is a British designer and puppeteer who has worked on several early Creature Shop projects as mostly a designer but occasional puppeteer. She designed creatures on The Dark Crystal, Dreamchild (also cable control puppeteer), Labyrinth, and The Storyteller. For Dreamchild, Cas also performed with numerous others with the cable controls like Sadie Corre, Melissa Whitmire, Mike Quinn, and William Todd-Jones, to name a few. It's currently unknown what happened to Willing after The Storyteller series ended. She doesn't even have a self portrait of herself, as the picture above placed her in the back left of the other fellow Henson designers. Her only known outside project was on Return to Oz as one of the fabric designers of the mechanical characters, at least that's what IMDb says. Despite that, Cas Willing still got to work under the direction of Jim Henson when in the shop and even helped make puppets for the series Brian Henson was on. If she's still alive to
