Nick Kellington

Nick Kellington is a British actor, puppeteer, suit performer, and musician who did SkekMal's body movements in The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. He was also an uncredited additional puppeteer in Muppets Most Wanted. I don't know why Nick didn't receive credit for performing with the Muppets for that one feature film and did on The Dark Crystal. Outside of the Muppets and Henson, Kellington has performed on the reboot of Teletubbies (as Dipsy), In the Night Garden (as Igglepiggle), ZingZillas (as Tang), and Strange Hill High, to name a few. He has also performed within the latest Star Wars films including Rogue One, Solo, and The Rise of Skywalker as both suit performer and puppeteer for many creatures and droids. In addition to puppetry and acting, he's also musician in a rock band called Ella Guru, where he played cornet and ukulele. Nick Kellington is probably one of the only puppeteers to perform in a rock band. Not to mention another puppeteer to also be a musician like David Stephens and Jerry Nelson. Other performers he worked with over the years include Victoria Jane, Olly Taylor, Daisy Beattie, and Marcus Clarke, just to name a few. Nick's most recent project was on a show called Lovely Little Farm alongside fellow Teletubbies performer Jeremiah Krage. Kellington should receive another opportunity to assist the Muppets again, whenever they film in the UK again that is. It's a pity The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance was cancelled after one season. Then he would have had another opportunity to do more creatures within that series, but what's done is done. Nick Kellington, you're definitely a natural at performing since you've entertained children on some shows for years. Keep on acting, suit performing, and puppeteering for future projects. I'm sure you'll work with the Muppets or Henson Company again someday. Until then, rock on Nick. Make sure to de-stress Kellington!
