Spencer Wilding

Spencer Wilding is a Welsh actor, suit performer, and stunt performer who is specialized in the latter two roles. His only known work with the Creature Shop was in the film The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy where he played a Vogon soldier. At least Spencer got to work with various Muppet performers for that film such as Sarah Wright, Andy Heath, Lynn Robertson Bruce, and Warwick Davis, to name a few. Apart from that film, Wilding is more well-known for doing prosthetics and suits for many feature films beginning with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Some of his film credits include The Wolfman (stunt double for werewolf), Wrath of the Titans (minotaur), Guardians of the Galaxy (alien guard), and Victor Frankenstein (Prometheus). He also did various roles on two TV series, Doctor Who and Game of Thrones, as well as be one of the two performers of Darth Vader in Rogue One. It must have been very exciting for Spencer Wilding to co-perform Vader of the Star Wars franchise, although the film itself was a spin-off of the franchise technically. Besides suits and prosthetics, he appeared on-screen in Batman Begins, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, and Green Street 2: Never Back Down, not to mention stunt work on Green Lantern. He's still performing for television and film today and is even executive producer for a segment of a new project called Blood/Stream. Spencer has really gone from being an actor/performer to the person in charge. Maybe in the future, Wilding will become a producer of his own production company as a sign of him becoming more in charge. You never know when an actor will become someone who puts a film together as either producer or director or something. Let's hope he'll do another Creature Shop project in the future as well. Spencer Wilding, you're a wonderful actor and performer when it comes to suits and stunts. Keep on performing for films, that way people will admire you. You really made a star out of yourself. Great work Spencer. Peace out Wilding!

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
