Jeffrey Breslauer

Image
Jeffrey Breslauer is an actor, puppeteer, voice actor, and writer who has done various Disney attractions and does freelance work too. For the Muppets, he's puppeteered on The Muppets Take Manhattan and The Muppets at Walt Disney World, however he was uncredited in both projects. Jeffrey has also played the on-camera role of the Walt Disney World Pet Care Center manager for the latter. Breslauer even did a Disney attraction known as EPCOT's Journey into Imagination where he did The Dreamfinder and the dragon Figment. It's a shame they had to drop one of his characters on the ride and when the ride got a revival, Figment was taken over by Dave Goelz. Outside of Disney, his voice can be heard in a variety of media such as commercials, theme parks, TV shows, industrials, and audiobooks. Jeffrey Breslauer has also wrote and published a kid's book called Abner the Clown with illustrations by Linda Campbell and that is something he's proud of. As for on-screen acting, he

Alexandra Hogg

Image
Alexandra Hogg is a British-French puppeteer, actress, designer, and voice actress who is best known for performing in many shows by Ragdoll Productions. Her puppetry was seen on Tots TV, replacing Claire Carre as Tilly from 1996-1998. Alexandra has also worked on the original Teletubbies, doing some of the female Voice Trumpets that popped up in almost every location. Hogg was even on Brum in which she helped to create the Brum remote control car puppet. I wonder how she learned to speak French when working on Tots TV or how she learned to speak English on Teletubbies. As for her acting career, she acted on two projects; Jonathan Creek and The Afterparty, the latter being her latest work. It amazes me how Alexandra Hogg manages to deal with doing puppetry on location since Tots TV was shot like that. I'm going to assume that she left Tots TV in 1998 because it caused scheduling conflicts between her work on that show and Teletubbies. I only wish that she would have performed on 5,

Claire Carre

Image
Claire Carre is a French puppeteer who is yet another puppeteer to be unknown to the world. Her only known project was replacing Véronique Déroulède as Tilly on Tots TV from 1994-1995, later reprising the role in 1998 from Alexandra Hogg. Claire should have some more information about herself since there are other women that have the same name as her. Carre should also have a self portrait of herself performing Tilly, one that isn't the one above. Tots TV has rarely shown behind the scenes pictures of Robin Stevens, Andrew Davenport, and herself respectively performing their characters. Even if there are behind the scenes photos, they probably don't show who she looks like. I believe Claire Carre must come out of hiding and maybe reunite with her Tots TV crew. It's just an idea, it probably won't happen but it couldn't hurt. She should have performed or assisted on a French co-production of Sesame Street like 5, Rue Sesame when she had the chance to do so. Then Clai

Véronique Déroulède

Image
Véronique Déroulède is a French puppeteer and actress whose only known performance was being one of the three puppeteers for Tilly on Tots TV. I don't know why she hasn't puppeteered on Muppets TV or any French co-production of Sesame Street like 5, Rue Sesame. Véronique performed alongside only 2 puppeteers in her life; Robin Stevens and Andrew Davenport who operated Tom and Tiny respectively on Tots TV. Déroulède should have done more puppetry outside of that show and did a French Muppet or Sesame Street production when she had the chance. I've read on IMDb that the only other series she acted on was in an episode of a show called Screenplay where she did a random bar girl. I wonder if she ever had difficulties performing Tilly since Tots TV was shot entirely on location and the 3 puppeteers had to crouch below level and face certain obstacles that the Muppets couldn't do. Véronique Déroulède should also have more info about herself and reveal how the other puppeteers

Alexis Milligan

Image
Alexis Milligan is an actress and puppeteer who is yet another woman that hasn't worked with Sesame Street, the Muppets, or even Fraggle Rock. Her only known puppetry work was on The Mighty Jungle where she replaced Cheryl Wagner during the second season. At least Alexis got the chance to perform alongside puppeteers who worked in Canadian Muppet projects like Frank Meschkuleit, Mike Petersen, and Wende Welch. I'd say Milligan should have worked on Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock where she could meet more performers than she worked with. As for the rest of her career, she is mostly an actress for shorts and series. Some of the projects she worked on include Blackbird, Some Things Won't Sleep, and My Younger Older Sister, two are shorts while one is unknown. In addition, Alexis Milligan is also a choreographer and teacher as stated in her website but where has she been a teacher? Luckily she's not the only puppeteer to be a teacher; Graham Fletcher, Katie Purvis, and Ronn

Michael Paul Ziegfeld

Image
Michael Paul Ziegfeld is a puppeteer, voice actor, filmmaker, and ventriloquist who has performed with Sesame Street and the Henson Company, the latter for many years. According to the podcast Under the Puppet, he stated that he met Jim Henson and participated in Henson Workshops. Michael also made his own MTV web series with two puppet characters named CJ and Peanut. Ziegfeld should be very proud to perform for millions of people for years. In addition to puppetry, he's also great at voice acting which his voice is heard in Disney, Pixar, and more recently, Cartoon Network's Cartoonito as Glob. Some of the people he's opened for include James Brown, Joan Rivers, and Don Rickles; the latter two appeared with the Muppets. Michael Paul Ziegfeld even worked behind the scenes on film and television such as Bedfellas and Spike Lee: American Cinematheque Tribute. I've read that he auditioned to be on Season 14 of America's Got Talent, but got eliminated by the judges afte

Carsten Morar-Haffke

Image
Carsten Morar-Haffke is a German puppeteer and writer who performs Pferd, Bert, and others on the German co-production of Sesame Street, Sesamstrasse. He was most notably paired with Martian Paas and together they both scripted the Pferd and Wolle sketches and on the 30th anniversary Sesamstrasse special. Carsten was also additional puppeteer on The Secret Life of Toys, along with Axel Rathgeber, Jurgen Tombers, and Marcus Hubner. Morar-Haffke has been doing Pferd since 2002 is probably lucky to be playing a horse on the series, since the name means "horse" in German. He has performed Bert on the show since 2006 while Martin Paas did Ernie and together they did new exclusive segments. He and Paas have also worked together outside of Sesamstrasse as seen in photos of live appearances operating many puppet characters. I'd say Carsten Morar-Haffke should be glad he decided to be a puppeteer for German television. He got to work alongside non-German puppeteers as well such as

Robin Reed

Image
Robin Reed was a puppeteer who only worked with the Muppets on a 1962 pilot Tales of the Tinkerdee, a project that ended up unaired. Pity he only did one Muppet project, he would have been great working alongside the Muppet performers after that pilot. Robin stated that he met Jim Henson while he doing a production of Pinocchio at a Detroit puppeteer's convention. Reed was invited to continue working with the Muppets after Tinkerdee, but he was too busy with his own commitments. However he did want to rejoin Henson afterwards, but alas, by the time he was finished, Henson told him there was no room for him anymore. But even though he couldn't work on any more Muppet projects, he did state that Henson gave him some help in finding other jobs. That's something Robin Reed should be grateful for since he received his own stardom on producing puppet shows from 1955-1999 alongside his wife and son. I've read that his puppetry career began in 1950 where he worked with his brot

Judith Broersen

Image
Judith Broersen is a Dutch puppeteer who performs Purk on the Dutch co-production of Sesame Street, Sesamstraat. I hope it wasn't embarrassing for her to perform a baby character within the series. Judith started out her career on Sesamstraat by doing the right hand of Tommie. Broersen has also puppeteered Ernie on De Wereld Draait Door, the program that held the 40th Jubileum annual of Sesamstraat. The former has happened before 2003 when she auditioned for Purk, although she could have occasionally serve as Tommie's assistant while she was on the show. Outside of Sesamstraat, Judith Broersen worked on Koekeloere, WaWa, and Leesdas Lettervos Boekentas, alongside her co-workers Daphne Zandberg and Catherine van Woerden. She should be very proud of herself to perform Purk on the show for many years and help making the piglet "the child of the family" as stated in the Wiki. I only hope that none of her co-workers ever make fun of her when she's doing the piglet, esp

Marc Weiner

Image
Marc Weiner is a puppeteer, actor, voice actor, writer, and producer who has made a guest appearance on Sesame Street and a guest appearance on The Jim Henson Hour. He has made two unique puppetry techniques, one of them being his own head over a puppet body, the other involves him performing a puppet with his arm facing down so it's made up of the hand. Marc appeared as a phone installer in an episode of Sesame Street while The Jim Henson Hour had him appear as himself with his puppet named Rocko. Weiner got to appear with Fran Brill, Robert Mills, and Gordon Robertson for that appearance, even complimenting Henson himself. Outside he is best known for starring on Weinerville, appearing as himself and most of the puppet characters. For those wondering how he interacts with his characters on the show, I read about it myself. Marc Weiner pre-tapes the parts of him doing his puppets before acting as himself on-screen in post-production, giving the illusion that he's talking to hi

Tony Sabin Prince

Image
Tony Sabin Prince is an actor, model, skater, and dancer who has performed in various Creature Shop projects as a suit performer and motion capture performer. His best known Creature Shop project was Dinosaurs where he replaced Mitchel Young Evans and Pons Maar as the body of Fran Sinclair. Other than Dinosaurs, Tony has worked on and off for the Henson Company for 16 years. Some other projects Prince worked on include Frances, The Skrumps, and The Country Bears. Before going into acting, he toured the country as a professional ice skater in many shows like the Ice Capades and Snoopy on Ice until moving to Los Angeles to fulfill his dream. When he was only 18, that's when he made his film debut, in a film called The Devil and Max Devlin, which wasn't really a big role but gave him a little experience. Tony Sabin Prince also likes to print model and can be found in a past Brazilian Magazine and who knows maybe more. I didn't know this, but he is also skilled in snowboarding

Mitchel Young Evans

Image
Mitchel Young Evans is a mime, clown, and photographer whose only work with the Creature Shop was on Dinosaurs as the body of Fran Sinclair in the first season. I do not know why he left Dinosaurs after the first season since he was doing a great job. Maybe it's because Mitchel didn't like wearing a heavy costume with an animatronic head. I'll assume Evans is much happier being a screen actor than a suit performer. His other credits include guest appearances on many shows such as Wonder Woman, Alice (as Blanche), The Suite Life of Zak and Cody (as Maurice the Mime), and more. As for film, he can be seen Flicks, The Incredible Shrinking Woman, and in Francis Ford Coppola's version of Dracula (as a shadow puppeteer). Mitchel Young Evans could have also appeared on-screen in another Creature Shop project, but I guess he's more interested in doing feature films than working with puppets. Even though he was credited in a Season 2 episode of Dinosaurs, that episode was me

Kelly Guidotti

Image
Kelly Guidotti is a Brazilian puppeteer who is the Brazilian performer of Elmo since 2016. Not only did she perform him on Sesamo, the Brazilian co-production of Sesame Street, she also dubbed his voice in Elmo's World, The Furchester Hotel, and Elmo the Musical. Seems to me that Kelly is one of the many female puppeteers to perform an international Elmo in a different country. I'd say Guidotti is doing the right thing on making Elmo a star character all across the world other than Sesame Street. Her outside puppet credits have placed her in Ta Certo (as Geisinha), Cocorico (as various animals), and in several TV commercials featuring puppets. I believe she got to work with other Brazilian puppeteers such as Neusa de Souza, Thais Carvalho, and a couple of others. Kelly Guidotti should do some Brazilian dubs of Muppet projects too if she did it for Sesame Street co-productions. I don't know if it's something she would be interested in, but it couldn't hurt for her to

Darci Lynne Farmer

Image
Darci Lynne Farmer is a ventriloquist and singer who has done ventriloquism since 2014 when she was 10 years old. She must have been known as the youngest ventriloquist in America, so far at least. Darci appeared with Rowlf the Dog in 2018 at the taping of America's Got Talent: The Champions where they performed "Can't Smile Without You" together. Farmer must have been really excited to work with Bill Barretta, one of the current Muppet performers. I've read that she was very shy to perform in front of an audience as a child, but with help from her parents she overcame that shyness and is now a big star. She performed a lot of ventriloquist puppets, some of the names included Edna, Petunia, Oscar, Katie, and more. I would say that Darci Lynne Farmer has reinvented ventriloquism to be more full of laughs. She appeared on various shows and competitions such as America's Got Talent (winner in Season 12), All That, and Nickelodeon's Unfiltered, to name a few.

Anna Cummer

Image
Anna Cummer is an Asian-Canadian voice actress, actress, and puppeteer who did additional puppetry on Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock alongside other newcomer puppeteers. She has had no experience in puppetry before working on the show and John Tartaglia and Frank Meschkuleit probably trained her to perform a puppet. Anna is more known for her voice in many animated shows and animes. Cummer is best known in her career for voicing the title character in the Strawberry Shortcake franchise for exactly six years (2009-2015). She has also voice acted in Barbie, Care Bears, and My Little Pony, to name a few. Her anime dub credits have placed her in Maison Ikkoku, Galaxy Angel, MegaMan: NT Warrior, and various others. I wonder how Anna Cummer got selected to perform on Fraggle Rock and when she heard about the Henson Company. Since she lives in Alberta, Canada where the show was filmed, word about a Fraggle Rock reboot must have spread and flyers were held out for puppeteer workshops. She did

Pat Brymer

Image
Pat Brymer was a puppeteer, stuntman and puppet creator who only work with the Muppets in the first episode of Muppets Tonight as an additional performer. I do not know why he has not done any other Muppets Tonight episodes or projects starring them. Pat is more well known outside of the Muppets in both film and television. Brymer is known for working alongside Shari Lewis for many projects as the master puppeteer and creator of the Lamb Chop, Charlie Horse, and Hush Puppy puppets until her 1998 death. He has also served as the puppet rigger/wrangler for The Adventures of Timmy the Tooth video series. I've read that he performed a character named Isaiah for a video series called Nanny and Isaiah, alongside Terri Hardin and Bruce Lanoil. Pat Brymer appears to be more focused on outside projects rather than with Muppet ones. He is also the founder/runner of his own company Pat Brymer Creations, which creates both puppets and costumes for many years. His best known film work was creat

Ron Stefaniuk

Image
Ron Stefaniuk is a Canadian puppeteer, special effects creator, comedian, and designer, best known for his work within the horror genre. His best known work was on Goosebumps where he created all the creatures in all the episodes and was the performer of Slappy the Dummy. Ron has also worked within Bride of Chucky, Howls, and The Love Guru, just to name a few. Stefaniuk has even worked for two children shows; The Big Comfy Couch (as an art director) and The Doodlebops (as a puppeteer, puppet designer, and art director). I am going to assume that he is more of a horror type man than a children one. He has his own creature studio entitled Stefaniuk FX Studio, responsible for Goosebumps and other films and TV series. Ron Stefaniuk got to work with other puppeteers like Frank Meschkuleit, Fred Stinson, and Jason Hopley, just to name a few. When it comes to being either a makeup artist or puppeteer, he definitely knows how to make things look so realistic and occasionally more children frie

Dan Milano

Image
Dan Milano is a puppeteer, voice actor, writer, producer, and director who has worked in various shows over the years of his work. His two most well known puppet characters are Greg the Bunny and Warren DeMontague in which he's performed them on the show Greg the Bunny. Dan is also best known for his work on Robot Chicken, Mad, and Titan Maximum to name a few. Milano got to work along with many celebrities like Sarah Silverman, Eugene Levy, and most notably, Seth Green. Not only celebrities, he also worked with Muppet performers like Drew Massey, Victor Yerrid, and Paul McGinnis to name a few. His film career placed him in development assignments for many companies, including the Henson Company, which he should have performed in. Dan Milano is probably one of the busiest performers in this world today since he worked with many companies and did many tasks on or off set. Some of his collaborations have included projects for Nickelodeon TV and being part of the staff for Dreamworks A

Paul Fusco

Image
Paul Fusco is a puppeteer, voice actor and showrunner who is best known for being the performer of ALF in both animated form and puppet form. He has performed the title character within many shows featuring him for many years and even guest appearances since 1990. Paul was also the creator, writer, director, and producer of the show ALF in addition to performing the title role. Fusco reprised the voice of his character for a crossover animated special called Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue which featured Muppet Babies. Other than ALF, he has also performed on many television movies like The Crown of Bogg, The Moonstone Gem, and The Wickedest Witch to name a few. Paul Fusco also worked with two puppeteers who have worked with the Muppets and Sesame Street; Lisa Buckley and John Lovelady. I think that he should be considered a guest since he technically worked alongside the animated Muppet Babies and they count as a Muppet project. The company he works for is called Alien Productions and

Andrea Bongers

Image
Andrea Bongers is a German puppeteer and singer who is best known for performing Finchen the Snail on Sesamstrasse, the German co-production of Sesame Street. She started out in 1999 and performed a variety of characters such as Lowenherz, Feli Filu (2003-2005), and Gustav. Andrea received Finchen in 2000 replacing Uta Delbridge and in 2005, Feli Filu was taken over by Constanze Schmidt. Bongers is probably feeling pretty lucky to have performed the snail to this current day. Outside of the show, she has also worked on Hallo Spencer, the long-running puppet series, where she performed Mona and two guest characters; Galaktika and Lulu. I should say that Andrea Bongers has become famous for doing puppetry not only for kids but for adults too. In addition to doing puppetry, she is also great at singing which is probably perfect for her to be an international Sesame Street performer because lots of other puppeteers can sing too. I only wish that she will get interviewed for her work someda

Keri Horn

Image
Keri Horn is a puppeteer, voice actress, and closed captioner, who hasn't worked with Sesame Street or the Muppets but has worked with Muppet performers. Her most notable puppet work was on Between the Lions as a puppet assistant and the performer of a dog named Kayree for one episode. Keri has also performed a character named Ed Said, who has a puppet form. Horn should have done other characters other than Kayree on Between the Lions. But I guess the writers of the series believed that Kayree was enough for her to perform. She at least got to work alongside Anthony Asbury, Pam Arciero, Peter Linz, and Jennifer Barnhart for that one episode she performed a character in. I read on Twitter that Keri Horn has her own website and has a demo reel video of the characters she has voiced. Even though she hasn't performed on Sesame Street, she has seen the documentary Street Gang as stated in a tweet. Serving as a regular for Mississippi Public Broadcasting, the company responsible for

Marty Stelnick

Image
Marty Stelnick is a Canadian puppeteer, singer, composer, and writer who is known for being a regular performer of The Grogs. He has puppeteered in Ooh, Ahh & You (as Ooh), Nanalan, and Mr. Meaty (as various characters), just to name a few. Marty is also best known for performing Lickity Split on a show called Ants in Your Pants which featured music clips from various shows. Stelnick should have worked on Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock which featured a couple of performers he worked with like Frank Meschkuleit, Ali J. Eisner, and Kanja Chen. But I guess he was happier performing outside of Fraggle Rock and being more of a freelance guy. Additional Grogs performers he performed with include Jason Hopley, Jamie Shannon, Caitlin O'Reilly, and Todd Doldersum. I've read that Marty Stelnick has made an alter ego in which he calls Rooster Kane which is basically his head on top of a puppet body. He was also music composer for a show entitled Cutie Pugs and a writer for a show call

Jonathan Frith

Image
Jonathan Frith is an occasional puppeteer, folk musician, carpenter, and filmmaker; not to mention the son of designer Michael K. Frith. When he was only five years old, he became a member of the Muppet family when his father joined the Henson Company. Jonathan has been called a "Muppet Rat" because he spent many hours playing with the puppets and hangs out in the workshop and at photo shoots. Frith seems to be the first child ever to be literally close to the Muppets behind the scenes. He also provided the chorus in 2 Sesame Street albums, assisted on calendar shoots starring Miss Piggy, and puppeteered on both Fraggle Rock and Sesame Street floats in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. He seems to have been quite the lucky kid to be a part of the Muppet family. When Jonathan Frith was 10 years old, he puppeteered a Pod Person in the background in The Dark Crystal (uncredited however) and cameoed at the age of 13 on the 1st episode of Fraggle Rock. When he was 17, he app

John Hardman

Image
John Hardman was a puppeteer and producer who did not work with the Muppets or Sesame Street but has still worked with puppets. He was best known for performing NorthPark's Scrooge (puppetry and voice at first, then voice only) for many years. John was also a regular performer for Axtell Expressions where he worked with Steve Axtell on various projects. Some of the projects that Hardman worked on included The Donut Man, Prayer Bear, and Jack Houston's Imagine Land, to name a few. He had the chance to work alongside a few other puppeteers such as Kimberly McDermott, Lori Lehman, and Lee Armstrong. I wonder how he met Steve Axtell in the first place; he was recruited to help him out with the puppets in a Donut Man video in 1995. I only wish that John Hardman had met a Muppet performer while he was still alive. People are probably wondering how he got the part of NorthPark's Scrooge in the first place and when he first started that role. He should have also been an Axtell pupp

Steve Axtell

Image
Steve Axtell is a performer, animator, inventor, puppet creator, and entrepreneur who is best known for founding and running Axtell Expressions. I've heard in a Puppet Tears episode, that Jim Henson served as his inspiration to becoming the performer he is today, he even has a Sesame Street picture. Steve has made over a thousand puppets, lots of them are caricatures of famous celebrities. Axtell is also known for being Duncan the Donut and most of the puppet characters in The Donut Man video series. He was assisted by Kimberly McDermott, Lori Lehman, and others for extra puppets. He's also performed in Jack Houston's Imagine Land (alongside Lee Armstrong and John Hardman), Prayer Bear, and The Knock Knock Show, not to mention a ventriloquist for various appearances. Steve Axtell was especially known for making such incredible puppet technologies that even The Jim Henson Company couldn't do, such as moving the ventriloquist puppets entirely through mechanisms (similar t

Kimberly McDermott

Image
Kimberly McDermott is a puppeteer, director, and designer who is another female puppeteer who hasn't worked with Sesame Street but should have. She has mainly worked for The Donut Man video series as both a puppeteer (assistant mostly) and assistant director from 1992-1995. Kimberly had what it takes to work with children, so she should have done Sesame Street when she had the chance. McDermott has worked alongside puppeteer & ventriloquist Steve Axtell as well as Lori Lehman and John Hardman. I hope it wasn't hard for her to assist the director and puppeteer at the same time. In one video, she also did the wardrobe and props. Kimberly McDermott was last seen in a documentary entitled Baby Dance as herself. She seems to be another puppeteer to not have a lot of info about herself but was only known for projects that aren't related to Sesame Street. At least she still worked with puppets, however it was mostly in the 1990s that she did that. I think that Kimberly should

Lori Lehman

Image
Lori Lehman is a puppeteer and producer who is, once again, another person who hasn't worked with the Muppets or Sesame Street. She mostly worked in a series of videos entitled The Donut Man, serving as an associate producer and a puppeteer (usually assistant). Lori got to work alongside puppeteer and ventriloquist Steve Axtell who created and performed Duncan the Donut. Lehman also got to work with other puppeteers such as Kimberly McDermott, John Hardman, and Angela Gage; none of which have worked with Sesame Street nor the Muppets. I wonder if she ever had difficulty working on The Donut Man as she was both associate producer and puppeteer at the same time, not to mention almost all of the videos were shot on-location. I read that her last known work was as key production assistant on a movie called White Wolves II: Legend of the Wild. It's unknown whatever happened to Lori Lehman after 1996, there aren't even any images of her performing a puppet. She is yet another pup

Craig Marin

Image
Craig Marin is a puppeteer, puppet/marionette designer and builder, director, and the husband of Olga Felgemacher who is best known for creating Flexitoon. But why hasn't he performed on Sesame Street in the early days like his wife did? Craig probably wasn't interested because Sesame Street didn't have a lot of marionettes. After Felgemacher left Sesame Street, Marin probably met her and together formed Flexitoon to make both puppets and marionettes. The company has created and performed the Jukebox Band on Shining Time Station and the marionettes and moles for Pinwheel. He served as the puppeteer, puppet stager, builder, and director for the former while only performing and building in the latter. Just hope Craig Marin had experience with heights before. His additional Flexitoon projects include KIDS-TV and other forms of stage and screen shows, photos can be seen online. He and his wife performed alongside Jonathan Freeman, Alan Semok, Peter Baird, and Kenny Miele; all o

Greg Antonacci

Image
Greg Antonacci was a director, producer, and actor who started his career as a puppeteer on the 1970 Christmas special The Great Santa Claus Switch with the Muppets. I've read that he was assigned to perform the Frackle Gloat according to Jim Henson's notes. That must have been the first time Greg has ever done a television project in his career and the only time he performed a Muppet. In the later years, Antonacci both wrote and starred in a short-lived play called Dance With Me before going into TV. He was a regular on the seventies sitcoms Busting Loose and Makin' It. He also guest starred on many TV shows like The Rockford Files, Laverne & Shirley, and Soap. I think that Greg Antonacci found his own job after working as a Muppet performer for 1 special. Later, he gained recurring roles on HBO dramas The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire (which was probably his last show). He has also wrote for various sitcoms and cartoon shows and directed/produced episodes of Perfect S

Earl Fisher

Image
Earl Fisher is a voice actor and puppeteer who is another person who hasn't worked with the Muppets but did work with a Muppet performer. He was the performer of Booker T. Bookworm on Barney & Friends from 1997-1998, with the puppet made by James Kroupa's 3/Design Studio. From 1997-2004, Earl also provided voiceover narrations for Barney Home Videos released within that timeline. Other than Barney, Fisher is best known for voicing Pasqually the Chef (since 1999) and Ronaldo Sagittarian in the Chuck E. Cheese chain. At least he got to work alongside other performers like Brice Armstrong and Todd Duffey who performed Miss Etta Kette and Scooter McNutty. He should have guest voiced on Sesame Street where could meet other Muppet performers besides Kroupa. Earl Fisher would have also been a great Muppet performer if any Sesame Street or Muppet projects were made in Texas. I've read that he has also been a puppeteer for a Christian Children's home video, which featured pu
