Sandey Grinn

Sandey Grinn is a puppeteer, actor, musician, and writer who has done freelance work on many shows, most notably on Zoobilee Zoo as Charlie Google and Bill Der Beaver. He also acted within Kung Fu: The Legend Continues and Babylon 5 but is more well known for his puppetry work. Sandey has done puppetry on Beetlejuice, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, DC Follies (by Sid and Marty Krofft), and Child's Play 2 & 3, just to name a few. Grinn is also a fine pianist when it comes to performing for people such as shows or something classical for the fancy ones. His theater credits include Oliver Twist, Dockside Music Hall, and A Broadway Baby; shows that he's a great actor on both screen and stage. Some other puppeteers he worked with include Thomas Fountain, James Murray, and Todd Mattox, not to mention Van Snowden. Working on Zoobilee Zoo gave Sandey Grinn a chance to work with singer Ben Vereen, one of The Muppet Show guest stars back in 1976. According to his website, he is another puppeteer to also work in the circus, he did dangerous stunts such as fire eating and bed of nails. I wonder which of his talents he's most happiest with; puppetry, piano playing, or acting. Either way, Sandey is considered an amazing man and a very talented jack-of-all-trades (someone who has done many jobs). If Grinn is still puppeteering today, he should get in touch with the Muppets and ask if he can assist them when it comes time for their next project. He would make a great Muppet performer whatever the show is. Just hope his co-performers can help him land a career with them. Sandey Grinn, you're extremely talented whether it's puppeteering, acting, making music, or performing in the circus. I hope you'll keep working until you retire and consider helping Muppet performers. Though technically you have worked with the Muppet performers on outside projects. Just keep it up Sandey. Wear a smile Grinn!

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...
