During The Muppet Show days, he started performing his own characters Rizzo the Rat and Lips, before eventually inheriting the roles of Kermit the Frog, Beaker, Statler and more. He also puppeteered Wembley Fraggle and Sprocket in the original Fraggle Rock series, Ernie on Sesame Street from 1993 to 2014, Weldon the I.T. Guy in the web series CAVE-iN and many more!
