Mark Bryan Wilson

Mark Bryan Wilson is a puppeteer and puppet builder whose only Muppet work was Muppets*Vision 3D, performing background characters. I don't know why he hasn't performed with them in any other projects like Muppet Classic Theater, Muppets Tonight, or The Muppets (2011). Mark must have been more interested in doing outside work building and performing puppets. Wilson puppeteered on many outside films such as Ghostbusters (puppeteer of Slimer), Beetlejuice, and Team America: World Police, to name a few. On TV, he worked on The Mr. Potato Head Show (Hammy the Ham Monster), Greg the Bunny, and Adventures in Wonderland (which features John Lovelady). Other than that, he has mainly worked in the special effects departments where he built puppets, marionettes, and creatures for films and shorts. Mark Bryan Wilson even had a chance to be in Michael Jackson's music video, Thriller, as a background Zombie character. He must have felt very excited to work alongside a famous rock singer in the 1980s when the music video was produced. I wonder if the Muppet performers knew about that when he came to film Muppet*Vision 3D, because it would be amazing if they learned that. I would say that Mark is one monster of a man to work with creatures for films and puppets for TV. I hope Wilson is still working in the films today and occasionally puppeteering Slimer for the Ghostbusters appearance for their future movie. And maybe someday, he should join up with the Muppets again to work on a 2nd project. You never know when he might get called in to assist. Mark Bryan Wilson, you've worked with puppets, creatures, and even a rock star, that is what makes you amazing. Keep working until you retire, which I doubt will happen for a while. And you're probably one of the lucky few puppeteers to appear with Michael Jackson. Awesome performance and effects Mark. You give thrills and chills Wilson!
