Reese Scott

Reese Scott is a Canadian puppeteer and puppet builder who served as one of the additional puppeteers on Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock. In addition, he also built some of the background characters used in the second season, which shows off both of his talents. Reese has often been paired with Brendan James Boyd for they both built and performed puppets on Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock. Scott must have been excited to assist on the reboot since he got to meet legendary Muppet performers such as Karen Prell, Donna Kimball, and John Tartaglia. Outside, he is one of the co-founders of Puppet Stuff Canada (with Boyd and Meghan Schech) which does professional puppet builds and performances. Some of the projects he did include Fintastic Fun, Creatures of the Deep, Bird is the Word, and UnBEElievable. I'd say that in the future, Reese Scott will have a chance to be put in the Muppet performer category on the Wiki. You never know when he'll get to perform a character on Fraggle Rock or any Henson projects coming soon. In the meantime, he is still working with his company at making and performing puppets for TV, theater, film, and other venues. There just isn't anything Reese can't do, not yet anyway. Based on the picture above, Scott is probably one of the newest Canadian puppeteers to build and perform puppets. Let's hope he'll continue to be in the world of Fraggle Rock for the future since that franchise is having a big breakthrough lately. As one of the songs of the show states "the rock goes on" meaning a big hope that the series will continue in the future. Reese Scott, you have done so well on Fraggle Rock and at Puppet Stuff Canada. Keep on building and performing puppets so the world can see how much talent you've got. Your friend Brendan James Boyd must have been lucky to have a performing partner like you. Until then, don't stop working Reese. You put the "rock" in "Fraggle Rock" Scott!

Bob Stutt is a Canadian puppeteer and writer whose Henson work started on Fraggle Rock. On Fraggle Rock, he served as a principal supporting puppeteer, performing episodic/background roles, and even filled in as regular characters (to pre-recorded tracks). For Sesame Street, Bob worked on the Canadian co-production, Sesame Park where he replaced Tim Gosley as Basil as well as the first Sesame Street film Follow That Bird. Stutt even assisted the Muppets within A Muppet Family Christmas and The Jim Henson Hour. Why didn't he show off his writing talents to Jim Henson? Outside of Muppets, his best known show was Under the Umbrella Tree as a writer and performer of Iggy Iguana and others. Other shows Bob Stutt puppeteered on included The Big Comfy Couch (also wrote), Today's Special, and Caillou, just to name a few. His writing credits were seen on Wimzie's House, Eric's World, Groundling Marsh, and Radical Sheep projects (ex. Ruffus the Dog). He is somewhat of an expert

Martina Klose

Martina Klose is a German puppeteer who did both hands of Tiffy on Sesamstrasse from 1977-1988 as the head was done by Kerstin Siebmann-Roders. I wonder if she ever did other minor characters on the show before she left. Martina also worked with other German puppeteers like Benita Steinmann, Peter Roders, Herbert Langemann, and Wilhelm Helmrich, to name a few. Klose must be related to one of the early puppeteers of the show, Lothar Klose, since they both share the last name. It is a shame she does not have a lot of other information on her Muppet Wiki page. Nor does she have a self portrait since it doesn't exist on the web, yet. I wonder if Martina Klose ever had difficulty playing both hands of Tiffy since she has to move them in the coordinated direction Tiffy's head is moving. After leaving, Karime Vakilzadeh and Charlie Kaiser both took over as Tiffy's right hand until Tiffy's retirement. Let us hope that she is still alive and performing today because maybe someda
