A Man. A Muppet. An Alien.
Puppeteer and creature performer for film and TV since 1980. Still going strong and loving it!
I think I need to be posting here regularly of my travels, thoughts and discoveries. What say you good people?

You know you are in Melbourne Australia when….. the local brass don’t make you feel like a stranger….
the art deco torch lady awaits armpit hair inspections, you see a cockatoo (or even three 😆) before lunch, Kmart and Woolworth are still a thing.
So far it does not disappoint 🥳

My prediction for the next insanity and chaos coming from the U.S. dictator will be fully controlling the press and news media and social networks simultaneously. Licences will be revoked. Businesses shut down. Others taken over. Journalists, editors and reporters demonised, fired and arrested.

This Saturday I’ll be in glorious tropical balmy Wigan, along with the talents of Spencer Wilding, Terry Malloy, Wendy Padbury, Frazer Hines, Chris Barrie and Jo Martin. So quite a line up of decades of entertainment!
Treat yourselves to some February fun!

Gary was in the car directly behind me. As you can see from the video, he was lapping up the attention 🤗
He brought a lot of joy to everyone over the years. Such a great little guy. I hope he can be with Carrie now 😢 Thank you Gary.

Awwww 😢 So sorry to hear everyone’s favourite French Bulldog Gary has passed away. I first met Gary when Carrie Fisher had him around on The Force Awakens. The last time was December 2nd, 2017 in Downtown Palm Springs, California. We each had our own car in the Christmas parade.

Phew! 100% contained finally. I’ve been looking several times a day!
Thank you everyone who sacrificed so much and worked so hard to both combat this and help with the community.
It’s absolutely devastating how lives, animals, property and memories were lost forever.

Being a mentally ill pathological liar and saying BS like this is the least of the problems America has with the current admin.
How is any of what’s happening right now okay with anyone who has even one tiny bit of sanity in them?
It’s heartbreaking to watch the USA self destruct so quickly.

Sometimes, when the world is feeling rather hard. We need an Oswald The Lucky Rabbit in our lives 🤗

Three people who have brought dinosaurs to life for you:

🦖- I animated several on the movie Jurassic Park 3.
🦖- Bob West provided the iconic voice for Barney on the beloved TV series.
🦖- Kari Klein puppeteered full size dinos for the global arena tour Walking With Dinosaurs.

You are welcome… 🤓

Made it to the sunny blue skies of Palm Springs after a busy and lovely appearance at The Hollywood Show in Burbank.

Sometimes in a panel on stage or at a dinner.
It was a very sad shock to us all to hear of his passing on 23rd. My heart sincerely goes out to his family, including his friends and many fans.
It’s heartbreaking as he was so nice and fun…
Clear skies Angus 💫

I sure am gonna miss my fellow rebel pilot and pal Angus MacInnes 😢 Although we weren’t in the same movies together (he in Star Wars A New Hope and me in Jedi), we got to know each other quite well doing several shows together over the last decade or more and shared many a chuckle whenever possible.

What is it you truly desire for 2025? Hmmm?….
P.S. fans of Great British Bake-off will recognise this location from this Christmas celebrity special as well as the 2023 season. Where am I?… 🤔

Could have sworn I was on the naughty list! I tried to hard too 😎
There’s always next year 🤣
Hope you all are safe and well 🎄
December 25, 2024 at 6:04 PM
Hey everyone. Just checking in and making sure everyone is still here and doing okay? Hope all are doing well.
Let me know what you are up to over the holiday. Working? Cooking? Traveling? Family? On your own or with a partner? Chilling?
I’m going to ease off the gas between now and new year 😱

🥳 Well I’m delighted to tell you that all orders of my Muppet Christmas Carol autograph packs have been shipped out. The majority of all international orders went out last week and the later orders on Monday. The final UK orders were shipped today! 🤩

My little shadow puppetry holiday dance. Nope - no adults here… 🤣

From Saturday - getting the original Nien Nunb crew from the Millennium Falcon in Return Of The Jedi back together again!
Simon J. Williamson (who was on his eye blinks) and Tim Rose (who was on ear movement) via cable controls.
We ain’t doing so badly for over 42 years later huh! 🤗

I’m sorry, no country should allow a convicted felon 🍊 🤡 to freely cross their borders. What’s wrong with them?! Totally unacceptable! Right? Any other countries planning on displaying double standards and normalising hate and dictatorship?
I’m not okay with this. And neither should anyone else be!
