James Rowley

James Rowley is a Canadian puppeteer, singer, and voice actor who was an additional puppeteer on The Muppets Wizard of Oz and the Creature Shop movie Turkey Hollow. He could have done other Muppet projects that were filmed in Canada, such as It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie or at a Just for Laughs event. James was probably more comfortable doing outside work like singing. Rowley has done various non-Henson puppetry works such as Stargate SG-1, The Santa Clause 2, and Scary Movie 3, to name a few. He got to work alongside other Canadian puppeteers such as Jeny Cassidy, Geoff Redknap, Robert Mills, and Gordon Robertson. He also has his own company called One Night Castle Projects, a theatre company designed for Japanese puppetry after studying for three years in Japan. James Rowley is also good at singing, but I wonder if he ever recorded songs for an album. He should also say on his website what animated shows he voice acted on. Personally, I think that anyone who has various other talents should give sources. James occasionally does puppetry today, he just hasn't revealed what show it's on. Maybe Rowley is an additional puppeteer on the latest Nickelodeon show, The Barbarian and the Troll, featuring many LA puppeteers. At least he got to work with the famous Muppet performers for at least one time. He'll probably find another Canadian show featuring puppetry someday, it just will not happen yet. James Rowley, you're a natural working at One Night Castle Projects and other freelance work from Japan to Canada. Keep on puppeteering, singing, and voice acting and maybe the Muppets might ask you to assist them again. Don't stop doing your talents James. You got what it takes Rowley!

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...

Gordon Robertson is a Canadian puppeteer who has performed on and off with the Muppets for many years. His most notable work with them was on Fraggle Rock as the body of Pa Gorg and various other characters on the series. Gordon has also performed with the Muppets on The Jim Henson Hour, The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years, The Muppets Wizard of Oz, and more. Robertson even performed on the Sesame Street film Follow That Bird and it's Canadian co-production Sesame Park. His Creature Shop work has placed him on TNMT II, The Neverending Story, and Cats & Dogs. Outside of his work with the Muppets, he performed with Shari Lewis on Lamb Chop's Play-Along and The Charlie Horse Music Pizza. Apart from her, Gordon Robertson did various other shows, his most notable ones were Zoboomafoo and Groundling Marsh.

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...
