He recently provided animatronic lip-sync and his first Star Wars voice for Dewi in the Andor TV series and was the puppeteer on many creatures for The Acolyte on Disney+
His career for over four decades has seen him working on both sides of the camera as a Director, Producer, Actor, Writer, Character Animator, Puppet Builder, Puppeteer and Voice Over Actor.
He was personally chosen by Jim Henson and Frank Oz in 1980 to work on many Muppet projects including The Great Muppet Caper, The Dark Crystal, Fraggle Rock (UK & Europe), Labyrinth, Muppet Christmas Carol, Muppet Treasure Island, The Muppets, Muppets Most Wanted and the ABC TV series The Muppets and Muppets Now on Disney+
