George McGrath

George McGrath is an actor, puppeteer, writer, and producer who is best known for his work on Pee-Wee's Playhouse as a writer and performer of various characters. Despite not doing Muppet work, he has worked with a few puppeteers like Alison Mork, Kevin Carlson, Gregory Williams, and Wayne White, three out of four of them are Muppet performers. George mostly did acting for shows like On the Television, Tracy Takes On... (also a writer), and Loosey Goosey & Fried Chicken. McGrath did more writing than acting as seen on Later, Riders in the Sky, and Big Top Pee-Wee, to name a few. He should have done puppetry in more shows since he did a great job doing it on Pee-Wee's Playhouse for five whole seasons. If not puppetry than he should show off his writing talents to the Muppets and then he might get his chance to work with them. George McGrath has also served as producer in a few of the shows mentioned above as well as Emeril and Union Square. I've read that he even performed 2 songs in a film called Punchline, but was uncredited in the film. I personally think that any puppeteer who has contributed to film work should receive credit otherwise they'll feel insulted. As long as George keeps himself busy with all the acting, writing, and producing, he'll become well known for something after all. Let's just hope McGrath will try puppetry again soon and maybe assist the Muppet performers on their next project. They could always use another writer for their next production. George McGrath, it amazes me how one man like you could work on-screen and off-screen when it comes to television. It must have been exciting for you to work with Pee-Wee Herman (Paul Reubens) on his show. I hope you will remember all the shows you did in the past. Great job George. You're a script master McGrath!
