Christophe Albertini

Christophe Albertini is a French puppeteer and voice actor who has performed Elmo on the French co-production of Sesame Street, 5 Rue Sesame and also puppeteered on Muppets TV. He got to perform alongside other performers on those productions including Yves Brunier, Regis Fassier, Charlie Bazire, and Evelyne Scheigam. Outside, Christophe was a digital puppeteer for The Adventures of Pinocchio (as Pepe the Cricket) and on the French TV series Cyberflash (as Cleo's face). It's a shame Albertini currently doesn't have any personal info about himself anywhere online, besides the Wiki and IMDb naturally. Still, it was nice that he got to perform on an international co-production of Sesame Street as well as a French-language show starring the Disney Muppets. He also voiced Donkey Kong for a time on DKTV but soon left and the role got succeeded by another voice actor. Christophe Albertini's info will probably continue to grow as time goes by, after all, Fandom is on top of everything. Meanwhile, he holds the record for being probably the only performer in the Super Mario franchise to puppeteer on other projects. Whenever he's ready, he should do more puppetry projects if he's still able to that is. It's amazing that someone like Christophe would puppeteer Elmo and voice Donkey Kong. But Albertini should remember working on 5 Rue Sesame because he got to do an international version of the famous red monster, just like other performers in other parts of the world. He probably got training from one of the regular Sesame Street performers, you never know when that will appear on his page. Until the next time he performs again, he should remember how much fun it was doing 5 Rue Sesame and Muppets TV, two French language Muppet projects. Christophe Albertini, you were wonderful on those projects, and you weren't bad at voicing Donkey Kong during a time in the Super Mario franchise. Keep doing whatever it is you do best so that you'll be recognized by who you are. If you still puppeteer, practice re-doing it so you'll get back into the swing of things. Fantastique Christophe. You did well Albertini!

Brock Winkless was a puppeteer and visual effects technician, best known for being the puppeteer of Chucky in the Child's Play franchise and the Crypt Keeper on Tales from the Crypt. A magazine stated that he understood lip-syncing of a puppet's mouth movements which gave him the skill to puppeteer his characters to vocal tracks. Brock frequently worked with director and make-up artist Kevin Yagher on many projects, such as the Child's Play series, the Crypt Keeper, and the film Honey, I Blew Up the Kid. Winkless also collaborated with other studios for make-up and visual effects throughout his career, including Animated FX Inc., owned by Norman Tempia. Other films he puppeteered in over the years have included Death Becomes Her, Man's Best Friend, Congo, The X-Files, and Dr. Dolittle 2. But no matter what films he does he'll always be known for being both Chucky and the Crypt Keeper since he's done both roles for years. Apart from doing puppetry, Brock Winkless...

Melissa King is an Australian puppeteer, actress, voice actress, and director who guest puppeteered on Farscape alongside other Australian puppeteers. She is known for performing with various theatres over the years in her career like Riverina Theatre Co, Belvoir St. Joining Terrapin Puppet Theatre, Blue Cow Theatre, and lots more. Melissa did more than a dozen shows both nationally and internationally which got her nominated in the best actor category for her role in The Riddle of Washpool Gully. King also got to puppeteer with kid band The Wiggles in The Wiggles Movie and series one, alongside others such as Edward Rooke, Gavin Sainsbury, Sheryl Talmage, and Larissa Deak. Her on-screen acting credits have included Deadloch, The Gloaming, Fallen Angels, and Rose Haven, to name a few. It's a shame she only did one production with the Henson Company because they hardly do a lot of productions in Australia, but Muppet performers have visited Australia lots of times for appearances.

Trish Leeper

Trish Leeper is a Canadian puppeteer, suit performer and puppet maker whose most notable work with the Muppets is on Fraggle Rock. On the series, she performed the body of Ma Gorg and played other Fraggles and assisted the main characters. Trish has also performed on the Sesame Street Canadian co-production, Sesame Park as Katie and Barbara Plum. Leeper has also performed in Follow That Bird, The Jim Henson Hour, and Brats of the Lost Nebula, which was probably her last Henson one. Outside of Fraggle Rock, she has puppeteered on many shows like Groundling Marsh (replacing Wende Welch), Bookmice, and Mustard Pancakes (also building puppets), to name a few. She also designed and built puppets for Treehouse TV, Four Square, and other shows. I wonder what Trish Leeper is doing right now. I just wish that she would have built in the Muppet Workshop during her time with Fraggle Rock and Sesame Park. She was often paired with puppeteers like Robert Mills, Gordon Robertson, & Frank Meschk...
