Jordan Lockhart

Jordan Lockhart is a Canadian puppeteer and actor who performs Wembley Fraggle and others on Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock. He also performed the title character on Hi Opie and Opie's Home, which were also by the Henson Company. I will bet that Jordan felt delighted to perform on the reboot of the original Fraggle Rock as well as with both Dave Goelz and Karen Prell. Lockhart also did puppet work on some outside projects such as Totally Random, Canada Crew, and What's the Fuzz. In addition to being a puppeteer, he has also acted on-screen within Schitt's Creek, Baroness Von Sketch Show, and Beauty Sleep. I wonder how Jordan Lockhart got selected to perform Wembley on Back to the Rock, seeing as how he never worked with any Muppet performers before. Maybe one of the many Canadian performers selected him like Frank Meschkuleit or Ali J. Eisner. This will probably be a dream come true for him to work with the famous puppeteers and be in the Muppet Performer category. I wonder if Jordan ever performed other minor characters besides the two credited ones. Lockhart had previously trained with the Henson Company and Sesame Workshop in their puppeteer workshops, way before the Fraggle Rock reboot. All that training ended up being worth it for he's now a Fraggle Rock star. He is probably still puppeteering today on various other shows no one knows about. Jordan Lockhart, you're doing a great job with the Henson Company, no wonder you were selected to perform in Back to the Rock. Is it true that you puppeteered in the Nickelodeon show, The Barbarian and the Troll? If you did, you did a great job in doing so, even though you weren't credited. Hope that you will be acknowledged for your performance as Wembley for awards Jordan. Until then, splendid work Lockhart!

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...

His most notable work with them was on Fraggle Rock as the body of Pa Gorg and various other characters on the series.

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...
