Chris Palmieri

Chris Palmieri is a puppeteer, entertainer, voice actor, and puppet builder who's only done one Henson Company project which was the first national tour of Dinosaur Train Live, under the direction of John Tartaglia. He is mostly well known for performing on television and theatre for over a decade, and also was a regular at Lucky Duck Puppets. Some highlights of Chris include performing Tigger in Disney's Winnie the Pooh, performing Snug on Snug's House, and operating the Mighty T-Rex at an educational theme park called Field Station: Dinosaurs. It appears that Palmieri is very popular all across NYC and North America performing on television, theater, and even film. His TV credits include Celebrity Wife Swap, Today, Cake Boss, MTV's Story Pig, and more. He got to perform alongside numerous famous people such as Dolly Parton, Jimmy Fallon, and even The Wiggles. Chris Palmieri also designed and built puppets for several film and stage productions like Mysterious Science Theater 3000 Live, Shrek the Musical, and Little Shop of Horrors, and that's only a few of them. Other puppeteers he worked with include Sam Weber and Jake Bazel as well as other unknown ones, at least unknown to me. According to his website, he's done all sorts of performing; motion capture, hand puppets, walkaround, teaching, stop motion, and so much more. It's amazing that Chris can do all sorts of performances but it's a shame that he never worked with the Muppets or Sesame Street. I believe Palmieri has what it takes to become a Muppet performer like Jake Bazel has. He just has to go train at a workshop and show off his swell and tantalizing techniques. It might not happen just yet for him, but it will come soon. Chris Palmieri, you worked for stage and screen and you've made millions of children happy. That is something a true Muppet performer has within him or her depending on the gender. Keep up the great performances and soon you'll become another famous puppeteer. Excellent performances Chris. Peace out Palmieri!

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...
