Sean Masterson

Sean Masterson is an Australian puppeteer and creative director who has worked in various Creature Shop projects, most notably Farscape. On Farscape he was part of the teams for Pilot (taking over as lead later on) and Rygel and also performed and voiced Rovhu's pilot in an episode. Sean later went on to puppeteer Louisa on the Henson non-Muppet puppet series, Five Minutes More. Masterson should have voiced the character he puppeteered instead of letting Gillie Robic dub him over later on. As for the Creature Shop series Me and My Monsters, he served as secondary puppeteer to Haggis for the first six episodes before taking over as Norman's lead puppeteer for the rest of the series. This shows that he worked alongside other Henson performers such as John Eccleston, Roslyn Oades, Graeme Haddon, and many more. Outside of the Creature Shop, Sean Masterson has performed on several projects like Feral TV, Toybox, Babe: Pig in the Big City, and Teddies. He should have also worked on The Upside Down Show or The Wiggles since both shows are filmed in Australia. In addition to puppetry, he's also creative director of a kids division called Big House Pictures. Maybe someday Sean will have a chance to work alongside the Muppets, that is if they ever came to Australia that is. At least Masterson did the Creature Shop for many years and has performed with several Australian puppeteers too as mentioned above. I sure hope he'll have a reunion with the puppeteers of The Ferals someday like David Collins, Emma de Vries, or Adam Kronenberg. Sean Masterson, you're amazing with kids and pretty good with adults too as seen in Farscape. I hope you'll return to the Creature Shop again soon and maybe work on another project. It might not happen just yet, but you can always hope for the best and keep yourself a little more occupied with all of the shows you do. Swell work Sean! You're out of sight Masterson!

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.

Robertson even performed on the Sesame Street film Follow That Bird and it's Canadian co-production Sesame Park.

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...
