Andreas Forster

Andreas Forster is a German puppeteer and actor who performed the AM mother Moni and the German version of Cookie Monster on Sesamstrasse. He also played various episodic characters such as a wolf, a frog, and a blue monster. Andreas has even puppeteered Ernie for the Sesamstrasse 30th Anniversary special, as well as played Mr. Johnson in this photo. Forster has been performing freelance for over 34 years according to his website and still is. Some of his other freelance projects include Kaptn Blaubar, Hurra Deutschland, Vivaldi Show, and numerous advertising contracts. He has also acted on-screen in various television shows across Germany like Lindenstrasse, Stromberg, and Weibsbilder. It seems that anyone who can do freelance like Andreas Forster must be very active and healthy. Other puppeteers he worked with include Iris Schleuss, Andrea Bongers, Martin Paas, and Carsten Morar-Haffke, to name a few. There just doesn't seem to be anything he can't do when it comes to puppetry and acting. Andreas also performed within the theatre as seen in Blue House, TRI-Buhne Theater, and Villa Muhlenbach, the latter as owner/operator. Forster is probably going to continue performing for both television and theater across Germany, especially on Sesamstrasse. I read he even did two years of both organization and puppetry for the theater in LEGOLAND DEUTSCHLAND. That kind of makes him one of the few puppeteers to have done something in the LEGO franchise. Andreas Forster, you really are a German star when it comes to performing. You've worked on Sesamstrasse for years and you're still impressing everyone with your skills. I hope that you keep on working until you decide to retire, which I doubt will happen for years. Until then, keep up the great work Andreas. You're a puppet natural Forster!
