Pons Maar

Pons Maar is a puppeteer, suit performer, actor, artist, and filmmaker who is best known for performing numerous suit roles for the entire series of Dinosaurs. He mainly played Roy Hess, characters voiced by Thom Sharp, and also Fran's body in early-Season 2 (before Tony Sabin Prince took over). Pons also did a suit role in Nissin Cup Noodles commercials and puppeteered faces of the gorillas on George of the Jungle. Outside of the Creature Shop, Maar began acting and arranging mime movement in Return to Oz before doing roles on other films like The Golden Child, Masters of the Universe, Theodore Rex, and more. During the 1980s, he served as the voice and performance model for Noid in the stop-motion Domino's Pizza commercials before times changed. As for puppetry credits, he puppeteered on Don't Eat the Neighbors, Phantoms, Can of Worms, and Team America: World Police (uncredited). Pons Maar only has one filmmaking credit at the moment and that is the dark comedy, The Job, in which he acted, wrote, directed, and edited. Other performers he worked with include Tom Fisher, Jack Tate, Michelan Sisti, and Leif Tilden, to name a few. He's occasionally been interviewed for his work on Dinosaurs like on The Barretta Brothers podcast for example. Then again, Pons could have been interviewed for any type of appearance, whether it's live on television or on the internet. I read that recently, Maar served for two years as co-head of the puppeteer committee for the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), according to Wikipedia. His latest film was in 2018 on Remembering Return to Oz as himself. Hopefully he is still working the committee for SAG with Kevin Carlson. Pons Maar, you've done wonderful on Dinosaurs as well as on Return to Oz and those other productions over the years. Keep up the great work, if you still are, and always remember Dinosaurs when you get a chance, that's your best known show. Always have confidence within yourself too. Remain being awesome Pons. You're a star now Maar!
