Marcin Ryl-Krystianowski

Marcin Ryl-Krystianowski is a Polish puppeteer and occasional actor who performed on the Polish co-production of Sesame Street, Ulica Sezamkowa (as Pędzipotwór). The show may have been short-lived, but at least he got to work on an international co-production of Sesame Street, with Agnieszka Mazurek and Wojchiech Slupinski. Marcin is lucky to be one of the few Polish puppeteers to be selected to perform on that show, which is considered lost media by everyone these days. Ryl-Krystianowski is better known for his outside work at Teatr Animacji since joining the theatre in 1990. Some of his theatrical work includes The Tempest (as Prospero), Winnie the Pooh (as Eeyore), The Snow Queen (a raven), and many others. It's a shame his theater profile is no longer active for unknown reasons, though I'm sure his info is still out on the internet, somewhere. Marcin Ryl-Krystianowski also made guest appearances on the shows Biuro kryminalne and Television Theater, of course both are listed on IMDb, and that website isn't always correct on a person's information. Until there's actual proof that he did appear on those two shows, we'll just have to assume that it's true, for now at least. It's a shame Ulica Sezamkowa stopped production after 2001, he was doing such a wonderful job performing Pędzipotwór in new material. Marcin should keep those memories of working on that show in his head because it was an international co-production of Sesame Street and the company is famous. I certainly hope Ryl-Krystianowski still performs with Teatr Animacji today even though his theater profile is currently defunct. But I'm sure his profile will be archived one of these days and everyone will know more about him once again, just like they did before. There's no telling what he has in store for the theater next, literally. Marcin Ryl-Krystianowski, you've done great on Ulica Sezamkowa and you still are terrific in Teatr Animacji. If you're still performing, keep at it so Polish people will look up to you. And if your information is somewhere else online, I'm sure millions of people will want to search until they find the theatrical profile they need. Nice work Marcin. You're a renaissance performer Ryl-Krystianowski!

June Privett is a puppeteer, puppet designer, and builder who is best known for performing on the Baby Einstein videos. She worked alongside her husband Dave Privett on the videos and also at their puppet company PlaySoup, which made the puppets. June and her husband replaced Markie Scholz since more puppets were probably needed during the later video series. Privett appears to have done wonderful as an entertainer for babies since she's done numerous videos until the series ended. Afterwards, she and her husband have been introducing many innovations at PlaySoup such as the Toobie puppets. The two also sell their puppets to people, sort of like Steve Axtell at Axtell Expressions, he also sells puppets for people to use in their acts. Though I wish June Privett would've met a Muppet performer from Sesame Street for they did their own project for babies, Sesame Beginnings. Since 2018, she and her husband sold their company to another couple, Kristofer and Amanda Sommerfeld, two ...

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...
