Haley Who

Image
Haley Who is a puppeteer, prop master, costumer, and puppet builder who's known for making specialty costumes and is a current member of GLOP. Within the Henson Company, she contributed to The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, Five Nights at Freddy's, Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, and more. Haley also served as a costumer during the fifth season of The Masked Singer, including creating the costume for Kermit the Frog's appearance. Who must've done some puppetry work as her website resume states that she is also a puppeteer, like some of her puppets were probably operated by her. At GLOP, she got to work alongside other performers such as Edi Patterson, Kathryn Molloy, Gwen Hollander, and many others. I'll bet she was thrilled when she did her first Henson Company production in her career, as not a lot of random people get hired by them. If only Haley Who would puppeteer on a project by Henson in the future, you never know when she'll be lucky enough to get to p...

Satoshi Tsuruoka is a Japanese voice actor and puppeteer who performed Big Bird on the Japanese co-production of Sesame Street. That was probably the only known production he puppeteered on, as all of his other projects were in the world of anime. At least Satoshi worked with other International Sesame Street performers on that show like Kaori Takeda, Hideki Tanaka, and Rena Mizushiro. Tsuruoka was probably recruited and trained by an American Sesame Street performer to work on that show, nobody really knows. Outside, his career began in the 90s with small roles in numerous anime, like Digimon for example, before gaining substantial regular roles later. Some of the regular anime shows he did include Soreike! Zukkoke Sanningumi, Fate/Zero, Big Order, and numerous others. Satoshi Tsuruoka has also dubbed for some live-action films like the X-Men movies, Eden Lake, White House Down, and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. He seems to be more well known as a voice actor rather than a puppeteer for ...

Richard Jones

Richard Jones was a British dwarf actor, suit performer, and artist who was known for performing in a lot of special effects films. With the Creature Shop, he served as a cable control operator on Dreamchild and did one of the goblin corps on Labyrinth, the latter working with iconic legends. Richard mainly did science and painting as his background while occasionally doing film and television, usually as an extra or a suit performer. Jones' most notable projects include Flash Gordon, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (as an Ewok), Willow, and the Welsh TV series Teliffant. Still, he got to perform with other puppeteers and suit performers who performed on Creature Shop productions like Tessa Crockett, Warwick Davis, Ron Mueck, Mike Quinn, and many others. It's a shame there isn't a lot of information about him on Muppet Wiki for he only did two Creature Shop films, but there's more info about him on IMDb. Of course, that website isn't always accurate with bios of perfo...
