Edward Chiodo

Edward Chiodo is a puppeteer, producer, puppet creator, and special effects artist who is best known for being part of Chiodo Bros. Productions, Inc, along with his brothers Stephen and Charles. He serves as the co-chairman, head of production, and executive producer for all the projects. Edward is an expert when it comes to live-action puppetry, stop-motion, make-up effects, and more. Chiodo puppeteered on an episode of The Simpsons (and produced stop-motion for several other episodes), Nickelodeon series, and Theodore Rex. The brothers also made puppets for several kid shows such as The Mr. Potato Head Show, Adventures in Wonderland and The Charlie Horse Music Pizza. The company also did work for films like Elf, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, and Team America: World Police, to name a few. Some other puppeteers Edward Chiodo worked with include Artie Esposito, Brett O'Quinn, Patrick Johnson, Sean Johnson, and Russ Walko. I believe Stephen Chiodo and Charles Chiodo should be proud of their brother not only for being an expert on being creative, but also for putting the projects together, since he is a producer. He is still doing work with animation and puppetry today as seen on the latest Treehouse of Horror episode of The Simpsons, Unbelievable, and Beyond Paranormal. Let's just hope that Edward isn't too stressed out with having to produce and perform in each project by his company. But as long as Chiodo is satisfied with his position at Chiodo Bros. Productions, Inc, that's all that matters for the most part. The brothers may not have worked with the Muppets, but they have worked with several Muppet performers over the years. And let's hope it remains that way in the near future. Edward Chiodo, you're awesome at performing, producing, and doing special effects in your life. I hope you'll keep doing all of those things until you and your brothers retire. Until then, keep working Edward. You rock Chiodo!

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. Gordon has also performed with the Muppets on The Jim Henson Hour, The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years, The Muppets Wizard of Oz, and more. Robertson even performed on the Sesame Street film Follow That Bird and it's Canadian co-production Sesame Park. His Creature Shop work has placed him on TNMT II, The Neverending Story, and Cats & Dogs. 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...
