Raymond Carr is an African-American puppeteer, filmmaker, and designer who did Henson Company show Splash and Bubbles as Dunk and others. He has also performed as a member in the Puppet Up - Uncensored improv troupe and has assisted on Earth to Ned. Raymond is known for peforming many puppets, traveling to every major city in North America and several parts of Europe working on multi-million dollar projects. Carr is skilled in state of the art animatronics, Muppet-style puppetry, motion capture digital puppetry, and traditional theatrical puppetry. Outside of the Henson Company, he has worked on various TV and theatre shows across America and Europe. TV credits include Moon and Me, LazyTown, Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, and various projects for Cartoon Network & Adult Swim. As for theatre work, Raymond Carr did Walking with Dinosaurs the Arena Spectacular Tour and The Center for Puppetry Arts. It would seem that he is another puppeteer to have good experience with adults and kids. He has puppeteered on every television station such as PBS Kids, Nick Jr, BBC, and more. If he is free, then Raymond should do a future Muppet project. If Carr worked on Henson Company shows, than he deserves a chance to perform the Muppets. He also wrote, directed, and produced many short films such as Wild Is the Wind, Shamus the Myth, Old Man Cabbage, and Hitori, to name a few. There is nothing that he can't do when it comes to film, television, and theatre since he's worked on screen and behind the scenes. Raymond Carr, you're another master puppeteer and you got talents when it comes to working on television and theatre. I hope you keep working with puppets and making more friends like John Tartaglia, Aymee Garcia, Leslie Carrara-Rudolph, and others. In meantime, I want you to remain a puppeteer and doing theatre and television. You are amazing Raymond. Slam dunk for you Carr!

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...
