Puppeteer, actor, musician, and master of voices, Jerry Nelson originally ed Henson & Company as a temporary replacement for Frank Oz, who had been drafted into the armed services in the 60's. He later re-ed the crew as a full-time performer in the 70's, and has since been heavily involved in almost every major Muppet project, including Sesame Street (1969), The Muppet Show (1976), Fraggle Rock (1983) and feature films. Memorable characters include "The Count", "Herry Monster", "Mumford the Magician", "Robin the Frog", "Crazy Harry" and "Gobo". Come the late 1990s, Nelson has begun to focus more on his musical career but continues his involvement in The Muppets. Show less «
