Brad Elliott
Brad Elliott is a prop master who worked on and off with the Muppet Workshop starting with Muppets Tonight. He worked with the Muppets in Muppets from Space, The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, and The Muppets (2011). Brad was also puppet prop master in The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, perhaps the only project in which he worked with Sesame Street. Elliott has also served as an additional Muppet performer in episode 205 of Muppets Tonight. The main performers were probably low of assistants in that episode so they must have trained him to perform a Muppet during filming. Outside, Brad Elliott has handled props for Greg the Bunny and Team America: World Police. Other than puppets, he worked on three productions; Arrested Development, The Closer, and the film The Adventures of Tintin. Seems to me that he is another workshop person to be trained to perform a Muppet on one project, others have included Mary Brehmer and Matthew Brooks. Personally, I think Brad did a great job being background Muppet performer in that one episode, just wish he did it in more Muppets Tonight episodes. Elliott was last seen working with the Muppets on The Muppets (2015) where he once again was prop master. It's strange how he leaves in 1999, returns in 2005, and goes on and off until 2015. But he was probably a busy man doing props for shows and films. Brad Elliott, you really are a master of props and not so bad at being an additional Muppet performer for at least one occasion. I hope that someday you'll return to the Muppets again and be prop master. Just try to find a time to do so and before you know it you will be all caught up with what's been happening with the Muppets. Simply sublime Brad. Great Elliott!
