This week on Puppet Tears we're talking to Steve Whitmire, one of the Muppet world's living legends, best known for performing Kermit the Frog, Ernie, Beaker after the deaths of Jim Henson and Richard Hunt, as well as originating his own characters Rizzo the Rat, Wembly Fraggle, Bean Bunny, and many more! Steve is now launching a live web show called Cave In, which is his first major puppet forget following his firing from The Walt Disney Company in 2016.
We leave no stone unturned as we talk to Steve about his storied career as a Muppet performer - from the first words Richard Hunt said to him on The Muppet Show, to the events that lead up to his departure from the Muppets. Tune in to hear Steve break down his approach to developing character, talk about pranks pulled at Henson masquerade parties, and a Puppet Tears story that took place on LIVE television!
