Hello!

[ToasterBoy]

Name's Grant. Former Disneyland cast member (Jungle Cruise '93-'95). Current Premier passholder.

By day I'm a professional puppeteer (Jim Henson Company, MST3K reboot). In fact, if you have taken the Adventures by Disney Hollywood tour, you probably had me as a puppeteer/guide on the Henson Company lot.

Huge Disney parks fan. Country Bears is my favorite (DON'T JUDGE ME)! American Adventure and Carousel of Progress and Spaceship Earth too. But it's not all Audio-Animatronics, I love me a good Mission: Space ride (More intense please).

Looking forward to hanging out here and joining the fun.

Thanks for having me.

Hello Grant! What an interesting job, I'm sure many here are curious to hear more considering most of us grew up with Jim Henson and all his creations. May I ask what specific puppets/characters you have worked with?

Probably no one that is widely familiar. I did do a pilot with the Muppets back in 2003, but that never saw the light of day. I did a series with Henson for Nerdist called Ketchup with the Hot Dogs which is still on YouTube. Probably the most high profile thing job was puppeteering Crow T. Robot for the new Mystery Science Theatre 3000 reboot Kickstarter videos.

Most of my performing has been with Henson Company's Puppet Up! Uncensored, a live puppet improv stage show that has toured the country. Actually in the opening cast for the show when it opens at the Venetian in Las Vegas later this month.
