Veronica Langley

Veronica Langley is a production artist, puppet builder/performer, designer, and writer who works with several female Muppet performers at GLOP. They built and performed puppets on many projects such as Mowgli's Road, Mill on the Floss, Guillermo and Will, and Yamasong: Scavenger Days. Veronica is also another puppet person to be non-binary even though GLOP contains mostly women cast and crew. As well as the projects mentioned above, Langley also built puppets for Crank Yankers (reboot) and a SpongeBob SquarePants holiday special. They also make digital art, sketches, and collages for many people as seen on their website. They should be proud to work alongside Donna Kimball, Colleen Smith, and Alice Dinnean within GLOP as those three created the series and run it. I wonder if Veronica Langley has any relation to puppeteer Frank Langley as both of them have the same last name. Other people they worked with include Taylor Bibat, Elizabeth Hara, Morgana Ignis, and numerous other female puppeteers. Maybe at some point they will work on a future Henson or Muppet production for real, as IMDb incorrectly states they did The Muppet Show special and Fraggle Rock: Rock On. I sure hope the three GLOP creators will recommend Veronica to converse with one of the producers of The Muppets Studio. Langley deserves to perform on a future production by either the Henson Company or the Muppets. It might not happen for a while, but of course you never know. Until then, they should continue to write, design, puppeteer, and do production work on their upcoming projects they made in their free time. Veronica Langley, you're doing great with GLOP, and you've done swell on those projects listed on your resume. Keep on working with puppets so you'll be called to help out on a Henson or Muppet project. Anyone who worked with female Muppet performers is capable of working with male Muppet performers as well without a doubt. But for now, keep being amazing Veronica. And eventually, you'll be in charge of your own projects, more than you have now Langley!

June Privett

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 ...

He got to work with several performers on the former two such as Fiona Gentle, Mat McCoy, Roslyn Oades, Sean Masterson and more.

Some of the outside projects Sainsbury puppeteered on include The Wiggles, Raggs, New MacDonald's Farm, When Good Ghouls Go Bad, and most notably, the Walking with Dinosaurs Arena Spectacular. In addition to puppetry, he also provided standby props for Hi-5 and was a machinist and stage manager for numerous live shows.

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...
