Phil Fletcher

Phil Fletcher is a British puppeteer and puppet builder who is best known for performing Hacker the Dog on CBBC (often paired with Warrick Brownlow-Pike). His only work with the Henson Company was on three episodes of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance as an additional puppeteer. Phil should have assisted Muppets Most Wanted alongside the famous Muppet performers. I wonder if Fletcher was given the job of Dark Crystal by his performing partner. Apart from Hacker the Dog, he also performed on shows such as Sooty and Scoop. Andy Heath was the first Hacker performer on an episode of Scoop before the role was taken over by Phil Fletcher the same year. I'll bet that he has made appearances as Hacker for many guest appearances. His character has even gained three social media accounts, one on Facebook, one on Twitter, and an official YouTube channel. Phil also built and performed many other puppet characters within several projects. Fletcher and Warrick Brownlow-Pike make great partners in doing Hacker and Dodge, two famous dog brothers. I hope that he continues to do Hacker the Dog for many years to come, even if he gets stuck at home with nothing to do. As long as he's famous for that one character, he's gonna be okay. Phil Fletcher, you're a doggone great puppeteer and puppet builder for stuff I never knew. I hope that someday you'll work with the Muppets on a UK project so you can become a Muppet performer like Warrick. It might not happen today, but soon you'll have that chance to work alongside the Muppets within a production. Keep working Phil. You're "ruff" and tough Fletcher!
