Frank Cesario

Frank Cesario is a puppeteer, puppet builder, costume designer, and voice actor who is best known for doing all of those skills on Donkey Hodie. He is also known for his work on the web series DillonGale and on the live show adaptation of Winnie the Pooh. In addition to puppeteering on Donkey Hodie and DillonGale, Frank also puppeteered on a project called Monkey's Magic Merry Go Round. Cesario seems to be very busy with Spiffy Pictures, working with David Rudman and other Muppet performers such as Haley Jenkins, Frankie Cordero, and Stephanie D'Abruzzo, to name a few. With DillonGale, he built and performed puppets with Ryan Dillon and Mark Gale, two other Muppet performers on Sesame Street. In addition, he even built and wrangled many puppets for productions by Duolingo, Ronald McDonald House, and many others. With all of those projects Frank Cesario did over the years, maybe someday he'll get a job on Sesame Street building, wrangling, and/or performing puppets. He even works with shaping the future of puppetry based on his puppet skills and vocal talents. People can also hear his vocal skills on another Spiffy Pictures series, Nature Cat which also features several Muppet performers' voices. It's amazing by how much talent Frank has in his career from puppetry to puppet building/wrangling to voice acting. I sure hope Cesario will get interviewed for his work and maybe be inspired to take his skills to the biggies like Sesame Workshop. He's worked with several Sesame Street performers on Donkey Hodie, so I'll bet he'll get his chance to work with such an iconic company. But in the meantime, he should continue doing projects by both Spiffy Pictures and DillonGale Studios, as well as others. Frank Cesario, you are such a magnificent person to work with puppets. Keep on doing so if you're going to go down in history as one of the legendary new generation of puppeteers. You never know when a big achievement will happen to you. And even if it doesn't, you'll still be considered a new generation master by me Frank. Such excellent puppet skills and vocal chops Cesario!

Brock Winkless

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...

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.

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.
