Stephen Chiodo

Stephen Chiodo is a puppeteer, director, producer, and puppet creator who is best known for being a part of Chiodo Bros. Productions, Inc. along with Charles Chiodo and Edward Chiodo. He has served as director and co-producer for Killer Klowns from Outer Space and directed other projects he and his brothers made in their lives. Stephen also puppeteered for an episode of The Simpsons (as well as doing stop-motion segments for several others), Nickelodeon series, and Geo Kids (with his brothers. Chiodo and his brothers even made puppets for kid shows such as The Mr. Potato Head Show, Adventures in Wonderland, and The Charlie Horse Music Pizza. Other puppeteers he has performed with include Russ Walko, Brett O'Quinn, Patrick Johnson, Sean Johnson, and Artie Esposito. He must be the head director of the company since he directed almost all the projects made by him and his brothers. Stephen Chiodo has done several films with his brothers, besides Killer Klowns, like Elf, Team America: World Police, and Freaked. He is still working for TV and film today as seen in Alien Xmas and the latest Treehouse of Horror episode of The Simpsons. Right now, he's directing the upcoming sequel of Killer Klowns, The Return of the Killer Klowns from Outer Space. It appears that Stephen is a master when it comes to directing animated and live-action productions made by himself and his brothers. I just hope Chiodo is gonna keep doing this until he and his brothers decide to retire. Despite not working with the Muppets, they have worked with several Muppet performers, like the ones mentioned above. The brothers are all masters at stop-motion, puppets, and make-up effects. Stephen Chiodo, you're an excellent puppeteer and splendid at directing. Your brothers should be very proud to work alongside a real genius over the years. Keep putting in all that effort and you'll be a legend. Tremendous job Stephen. Great Chiodo!

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

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
