Hus Levant

Hus Levant is or was a British puppeteer and actor who only did one Creature Shop project which was The Dark Crystal. On that film he played the Mystic Scribe as well as a Garthim that entered a Podling gathering, according to an interview by Toby Philpott. I don't know why Hus didn't work on any other projects by the Creature Shop. Levant could have done Labyrinth, The Witches, or other films where the company provided special-effects. At least he worked with other performers who did some Mystics such as Hugh Spight, Robbie Barnett, and Simon Williamson. Outside of The Dark Crystal, he acted in many Shakespeare productions by the National Theater like the 1986-1987 production of King Lear. In addition to doing National Theater, Hus Levant also appeared in BBC productions of Henry VI (all 3 parts) and Richard III. Other than Shakespeare, he played a miner named Edwin Green in the Doctor Who story entitled "The Mark of the Rani." Nobody seems to know what happened to him after the late 1980s nor if he's still alive or not because well, there haven't been any projects he was involved. Hus is yet another one of those performers to be unknown to the public after a specific year. Hopefully in the future, someone will find out more about Levant and will solve the mystery of what ever happened to him. He must have been really into works by Shakespeare since he's acted in many screen adaptions of his classic plays and poems. I personally think this man is either alive or dead. Hus Levant, despite only doing one Creature Shop film, you still did great performing a Mystic. Though it must have been hard for you to move around in that costume but you were lucky to switch to a Garthim for one scene. If you are still alive today, always remember the pleasure you had working under the direction of both Jim Henson and Frank Oz. "To thine own self be true" Hus. That's great Shakespeare work Levant!
