Alex Villa

Alex Villa is a puppeteer who served as an additional Muppet performer on The Muppets (2011) and the sequel Muppets Most Wanted. He also puppeteered in a 2011 Orange commercial produced for cinemas. Alex appears to be very familiar with the Muppets since they are owned by Disney. I've read that Villa worked as a puppeteer at Disneyland since 1999, performing in shows, parades, and other events. I have no idea on what he's been doing between 2014 and 2021. He recently performed on a Muppet Halloween special for Disney+ called Muppets Haunted Mansion, where he got to assist and perform a pumpkin. Why didn't he perform other characters though? Alex Villa probably didn't have enough confidence to perform more than one Muppet in that Halloween special. I'm sure he'll do more characters in future Muppet productions. Alex is probably more famous as a Disneyland puppeteer, rather than a Muppet performer. Villa should get in touch with the Muppets again real soon and ask if he can either perform or assist in another project. It might not happen just yet, but soon that day will come for him. He at least got to work with the seven main Muppet performers such as Bill Barretta, Eric Jacobson, Dave Goelz, and Steve Whitmire. Alex Villa, the geniuses behind Disneyland were right to select you to work there for many years. I hope someday you'll perform more Muppet characters in the future. You never know when the Muppet performers will start filming another project. We can always hope that they'll select you to play a character Alex. Just keep your hopes up, don't stop doing what you do best, and before you know it, you'll be a Muppet performing star like the others Villa!
