Glenn Williams

Glenn Williams is a Canadian puppeteer, actor, voice actor, and ventriloquist who is best known for being one of the puppeteers of Dr. Colosso on The Thundermans. For over 50 years, he's done many entertainment styles since the age of 7 when he showcased his ventriloquism on Pete's Place. Now an adult, Glenn has puppeteered on numerous productions, besides Thundermans, such as Tomorrowland, Animal Control, X Files, and Critters: A New Binge, to name a few. As for on-screen acting, Williams appeared in numerous television shows and films such as Millennium, Hostage Negotiator, The Christmas Train, and A Series of Unfortunate Events. Other puppeteers he got to work with in his career include Jeny Cassady, probably the only Muppet puppeteer to ever work with him, so far at least. It's a shame he didn't puppeteer on Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, he would've been perfect as one of the additional performers. Glenn Williams still got to become another one of the greatest Canadian puppeteers there are, since he's been performing since childhood. He also could've performed on The Barbarian and the Troll which was filmed in Canada and featured several Muppet performers. But he was probably too occupied doing his own projects than to perform with puppeteers he barely even knows. Glenn is still acting and puppeteering today as his website states that he is currently doing things that are in-production. Willaims also knows about the Muppet-type puppets as he's mentioned them on his website, and he performs puppets of all types. At least this guy has heard about the Muppets, and maybe someday he'll assist the Muppet performers the next time they are filming something in Canada. You never know when an opportunity as exciting as that will happen to him. Glenn Williams, you've become another master of entertainment, and you do great on both The Thundermans and Animal Control. Keep up the marvelous work and always remember how much hard work it is doing puppetry on all of those things mentioned on your resume. I hope you'll assist Muppet performers on a future project someday. Until then, fabulous performances Glenn. Always hop to it Williams!

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...
