Puppeteer

Through out my life I have grew up with the inspiration of Jim Henson around me.  From his TV shows, toys, movies and the work that my own father was inspired to do from watching interviews with Jim Henson.  My house had monsters ranging from tiny puppets to big costumes, craved from foam rubber.

Hey Everyone! Welcome to episode 11 of Cowabunga Corner Season 3. In this episode I get to sit down and interview Mark Caso.

Mark was Leonardo’s costume actor for TMNT 2 & 3. He was also in the news room in TMNT 2 when Donatello calls April at work, he’s the one to tell April she’s got a phone call from Donny.

Since working on the TMNT movies Mark has moved on to now work with selling Toys. Find out about his work with Bruder and just how great those toys are.

In this episode I got to interview Noel MacNeal, the puppeteer of Raphael for TMNT 3. Noel is also known for his work as Bear in Bear in the Big Blue House. Noel was a guest at New York City Comic Con and took some time to do this interview on October 10th, 2010.

In this episode of “Cowabunga Corner”, I get to interview Jim Martin, Leonardo’s puppeteerer from TMNT 3!

On June 28th, I got to meet up with Jim Martin at the Toonseum in Pittsburgh, PA. Jim Martin was the Puppeteerer for Leonardo in TMNT 3, so I asked him to join us for an interview and let the fans know what it was like working on the 3rd Ninja Turtle Movie.

This is our first interview on Cowabunga Corner I hope everyone enjoys!
