Igor Cruz

Igor Cruz is a Mexican puppeteer and voice actor who performs Multimuppet and Multimonstruo roles in the 2005 season of Plaza Sesamo. Apparently that was the only production in which he served as a puppeteer. In addition to puppetry, Igor also dubbed Elmo in Spanish versions of Sesame Street videos such as The Get Healthy Now Show, Being Green, and Abby in Wonderland. I wonder why Cruz does not do puppetry more than he does voice acting. He mostly does dubs for movies, animated shows, and anime. Some of his dub credits include Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Camp Lazlo, Codename: Kids Next Door, and Digimon. I'm going to assume someone trained Igor Cruz to learn how to puppeteer on Plaza Sesamo before he was asked to perform in that one season. At least he got to work with Mexican puppeteers like Rocio Lara, Eugenio Bartilotti, and Odin Dupeyron, to name a few. Is it ever difficult for him to dub a show or film in Spanish since it's hard to keep track of moving lips on a screen. Who knows if Igor will continue to voice act or when he'll try puppetry again? As long as Cruz keeps himself busy, he'll have the confidence he'll need to puppeteer again, whenever that is. Until then, the best thing for him to do is to keep voice acting for Spanish dubs. And maybe someday, Plaza Sesamo might ask him to perform minors in another season. Igor Cruz, you have an incredible voice and you're not bad at puppetry. I hope you'll keep dubbing for Mexican television and film and consider doing puppetry again real soon, that's up to you. You don't have to if you don't want to. Keep working Igor. Muy bien Cruz!

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...

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...
