Timothy D. Rose

Timothy D. Rose is a puppeteer and puppet designer who worked in a variety of Muppet and Henson projects, most notably puppeteering SkekShod on The Dark Crystal. He also served as an additional performer on The Muppets Christmas Carol and worked in a music video by ABBA entitled The Last Video, featuring puppeteers such as Phil Eason, Richard Coombs, and Mark Jefferis. Timothy has also been a designer for several productions such as The Great Muppet Caper, Labyrinth, Dinosaurs, and Muppets Most Wanted. I wonder if Rose is more interested in science-fiction than fantasy. Outside, he is best known for puppeteering Admiral Ackbar for Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, later reprising the role years later for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Some of his other works include Howard the Duck, Becky and Barnaby Bear, and Spitting Image, to name a few. Timothy D. Rose was last seen as a creature & droid puppeteer for the spin-off film Solo: A Star Wars Story. He was recently heard in interviews on guest appearances in series and documentaries which took place last year. I hope he's still performing and/or designing puppets for films and series today. Timothy should be proud to have worked on the famous science-fiction franchise Star Wars, alongside others such as Frank Oz and Mike Quinn. Rose must be honored to be interviewed on shows and documentaries this present day. You never know when he will be called to perform/design characters for a puppet series, whichever comes first. Timothy D. Rose, you are very popular with the Creature Shop and also for the Muppets. From 1980-2014, you've been in and out of the Muppets, either in the workshop or assisting them on set of filming. Keep up the great work you're doing right now Timothy. Whatever it is now, keep on doing whatever it is you do best Rose!

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...
