Tim Blaney

Tim Blaney is a puppeteer and voice actor who worked on numerous Muppet and Henson projects. He has started out on an episode of Dinosaurs before moving on to the Muppets. For the Muppets, Tim has performed on several episodes of Muppets Tonight, Studio DC: Almost Live, Muppet Classic Theater, and Lady Gaga & the Muppets' Holiday Spectacular. Blaney also voice acted on a Sesame Street video game which is called Once Upon a Monster. His film work placed him in The Muppets (2011), Muppets Most Wanted, & Where the Wild Things Are (to name a couple). Outside of the Muppets, Tim Blaney did various projects such as the Short Circuit films where he performed the robot Johnny 5. He has also played Frank the Pug in Men in Black and its sequels and puppeteered on Flight of the Navigator and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. His voice can be heard in The Spongebob Squarepants Movie, Uncle Grandpa, and many more. Tim is one of the very few Muppet puppeteers to work on a Cartoon Network show. Johnny 5 and Frank the Pug are probably Blaney's best known characters for film. His latest work with the Muppets was assisting them live at the Hollywood Bowl and O2 Arena. He also assisted in the Henson Alternative film The Happytime Murders. Tim is still voice acting and puppeteering today, as long as he waits for another Muppet project to come into production. His time with the Muppets cannot end just yet. Tim Blaney, you're excellent at working with the Muppets and other outside work. I hope that someday you'll get your own Muppet character and become a Muppet performer. Keep on working with them and other projects outside, and you'll become another film legend. Always believe Blaney!

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...
