Rachelle Beinart

Rachelle Beinart is a British actress, suit performer, and stunt person who is well known for performing stunts for many films. Her suit performance credits placed her on ZingZillas (as Drum) and the reboot of Teletubbies (as Po) while the rest of her roles involved on-screen acting. Rachelle may not have done any Muppet projects, but she has performed with Muppet puppeteers, such as Josh Elwell, Olly Taylor, William Banyard, and Nick Kellington. For acting credits, Beinart mostly did uncredited roles in films such as Below Her Mouth, Fences, Game of Thrones, and Before I Fall, to name a few. She did receive credit for doing stunts on numerous films and series however, such as The Irregulars, The Batman, The Marvels, Cats, and more. It's amazing how a stunt performer can work well for both adults and children too. Other performers that worked with Rachelle Beinart on Teletubbies (besides Nick Kellington) have included Rebecca Hyland, Jeremiah Krage, and Victoria Jane. She still does wonderful stunts for films and series today including some upcoming ones. Maybe someday, one of the puppeteers she performed with in the past will introduce her to some British Muppet performers. You never know when something like that will happen to Rachelle. In the meantime, Beinart should be considered one of the terrific stunt performers in the UK since she's been performing stunts since 2012. She could even be an influence on those that want to perform stunts for films and TV series. It must have been extremely complicated for her to perform certain stunts for certain projects, and it must be hard for her to be one of the Teletubbies since the performer also voices the character from within the suit. Rachelle Beinart, you're fantastic at performing stunts for TV and film, and you were great taking the role of Po from Pui Fan Lee. Keep up the great work and also try to get in touch with some performers from ZingZillas. Maybe one of those puppeteers can explain their experience with the Muppets. Flip to it Rachelle. You got this Beinart!

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...

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...
