Dan Van Wyck
Dan Van Wyck is a Canadian actor, puppeteer, and suit performer who doesn't have a lot of information about himself but has worked many projects. As a puppeteer/suit performer, he performed on 2 projects by Radical Sheep Productions, Ruffus the Dog and Panda Bear Daycare. Dan has also acted on-screen in Wingin' It and Naturally, Sadie but neither of them featured puppetry in one single episode. Wyck could have done other projects featuring puppetry, but apparently nobody has heard from him between those years. He has however worked with other puppeteers while at Radical Sheep such as Suzanne Merriam, Ben Deutsch, Fred Stinson, and Karen Valleau. It's a pity he never worked in any Canadian project by the Henson Company such as Brats of the Lost Nebula. At least Dan Van Wyck worked with some Muppet performers outside at Radical Sheep Productions, even though it was for only 2 years. If he's still alive today, he might still have contact with some of the puppeteers he worked with in the past, hopefully. Maybe then he may have a chance to perform in a future Henson Company project and become a Muppet Performer himself. Too bad Dan probably never even heard of Jim Henson nor the Muppets since he probably started puppeteering back in 1998. If only Wyck could run into someone he knows, then maybe he can get another gig on a show, puppetry or no puppetry. Let's just say he's the kind of guy who has what it takes to do a future Henson Company project. As long as he's still keeping himself busy, that's all that matters. Dan Van Wyck, you were great with Radical Sheep Productions within those two shows, and also with that movie. Maybe you will get to perform in another freelance project someday. You just got to show you've got talents. I bid you good luck Dan. Don't stop Wyck!
