Mitchel Young Evans

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 meant for the first season since it was the fourth episode filmed. Luckily, Tony Sabin Prince took over as the body of Fran Sinclair when he left. Mitchel should also reveal what photographs he's taken over the years and if he's performed in any circuses since he is also a clown. Evans has to at least have a resume of all the productions he can be seen in and what other hobbies he does other than television and film. He should've also attended the virtual Dinosaurs reunion on The Barretta Brothers podcast. Mitchel Young Evans, you may have only done one season of Dinosaurs, but you're still considered a Creature Shop performer by me. Some other clowns like Sue Morrison or Genevieve Flati are just as good as you are. But you should tell the world what your photographs look like too. You give out both smiles and laughter Mitchel. Well done Evans!

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...

Gordon Robertson is a Canadian puppeteer who has performed on and off with the Muppets for many years. His most notable work with them was on Fraggle Rock as the body of Pa Gorg and various other characters on the series. Gordon has also performed with the Muppets on The Jim Henson Hour, The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years, The Muppets Wizard of Oz, and more. Robertson even performed on the Sesame Street film Follow That Bird and it's Canadian co-production Sesame Park. His Creature Shop work has placed him on TNMT II, The Neverending Story, and Cats & Dogs. Outside of his work with the Muppets, he performed with Shari Lewis on Lamb Chop's Play-Along and The Charlie Horse Music Pizza. Apart from her, Gordon Robertson did various other shows, his most notable ones were Zoboomafoo and Groundling Marsh.

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...
