Jack Venturo

Jack Venturo is a puppeteer, filmmaker, contributor, and animator whose only Henson Company show so far was Earth to Ned. I don't know why he didn't do other Henson Company productions or Muppet projects, such as Muppets Haunted Mansion. Jack is probably more recognized for his work outside of Earth to Ned since he's done more projects featuring puppetry. Venturo puppeteered on Coyote Jack's Smoke Pit, Disney's Tsum Tsum Kingdom, Chit Chat with Richie, and many more. Other than puppetry, he is also an excellent filmmaker either writing, producing, and/or directing numerous series, films and shorts. Some of the films he made include Lost in the Wilderness, Stanley 2: The Legacy, Toy Geeks: Behind the Counter, and The Shortest Day, to name a few. Jack Venturo should show a couple Muppet performers his filmmaking and puppetry talents so that they can give him a chance to be with them in their next production. At least he got to work with puppeteers who worked with Muppets such as Brian Henson, Drew Massey, Michael Oosterom, and Victor Yerrid. He probably did a lot more filmmaking more than any other performer of the Muppets, besides Jim Henson and Frank Oz. I personally believe that Jack has what it takes to assist the Muppets or Henson Company on future projects. Venturo should still write, produce, and direct within many projects that are either current or upcoming, but he should also continue his puppetry skills. You never know when the Henson Company will make another show involving puppets. Jack Venturo, on or off-screen, you are the wiz of showbusiness. Keep up the great work you've done over the years and are still doing to this very day. And be sure to remember how you enjoyed working on Earth to Ned. No matter what you do, you'll always be one of the great filmmakers and performers in the show business Jack. You sure are magnificent Venturo!
