Steven Kynman

Steven Kynman is a British actor, puppeteer, writer, and voice actor who was an additional performer for several UK-based Muppet/Henson projects. He assisted on Muppet Treasure Island and Muppets Most Wanted for his time with the Muppets and puppeteered on Construction Site, The Hoobs (also a writer), and The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance for the Henson Company. I wonder why Steven didn't write for any other project by Henson. Outside of both the Muppets and Henson Company, Kynman has acted on Justin's House as Robert the Robot and puppeteered on many projects. As a voice actor, he did voices on Fireman Sam, Bob the Builder (UK), and Thomas the Tank Engine franchise (US and UK), to name a few. He has even been a creature/droid puppeteer in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, he must have been very lucky to work in that film. Steven Kynman also lucky to perform with several Muppet performers like Brian Herring, Mak Wilson, and Mark Jefferis, just to name a few. I just wish he would have been an additional puppeteer for the Muppets when they performed at the O2 Arena. But I guess the producers didn't think about asking any UK puppeteers to assist. Steven's latest projects included Spitting Image (reboot), Obki, and Jurassic World Domination. Kynman is not only recognized for his voice talents, but he's also recognized as a puppeteer. There should however be a resume for proof that you did indeed assist on The Hoobs, in addition to writing episodic scripts. Perhaps he'll be able to help the Muppet performers again in the future. Steven Kynman you're awesome at both voice acting and puppeteering, not to mention being a pretty fine robot. I hope you keep puppeteering and voice acting for many years to come so you'll be recognized. And maybe someday, go and assist the Muppets again when you have free time. Great voice/puppet work Steven. And some fine scripts too Kynman!

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

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
