Fiona Beynor Brown

Image
Fiona Beynor Brown is a British puppeteer and puppet rigger who was one of the Goblin puppeteers in the Creature Shop film Labyrinth. She got to work with numerous Muppet performers within that film such as Mak Wilson, Christine Glanville, Rob Tygner, Jan King, and more. Fiona also had the honor to work under the direction of Jim Henson himself for that film. Brown should have a self-portrait since the picture above is a different person with the same name, the same goes for other puppeteers. Outside, she performed on a few other projects involving puppetry like Little Shop of Horrors (Frank Oz film), Playdays (originating the role of Why Bird), and MacDonald's Farm. She must have felt proud to play a lead character like Why Bird until Ellie Darvill took over until the series end. Fiona Beynor Brown can be very talented at performing on television and film. The only thing needed for her is an actual picture of her face so that everyone in the world will know who she is and what she...

Ron Wagner

Ron Wagner is a Canadian puppeteer, clown, and the ex-husband of Cheryl Wagner. He served as an additional Muppet performer on Follow That Bird and the original Fraggle Rock episode "The Thirty Minute Work Week", both with his then-wife. In the early 1970s, Ron and Cheryl formed the puppet theatre company known as the P.E.I. Puppet People, based in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Later in 1977, the Wagner couple formed the Merrytime Clown and Puppet Company, a theater company that mixes puppets, clowning, and street theater. There have been rumors saying that the company served as the inspiration to the creation process of The Big Comfy Couch. Going solo, he designed the puppets for a CBC children's series called Bixby and Me, as well as performing a clown puppet named Charlie freelance. It would appear that Ron Wagner's then-wife has way more credits than he does since she did many shows and worked at Radical Sheep Productions. During his time on Fraggle Rock and Follo...
