DEMO REEL
FRAGGLE ROCK: BACK TO THE ROCK
I got to puppeteer and voice some new characters on Henson’s new Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock series, which is streaming now on AppleTV+ ! They also have all four seasons of the Jim Henson Company's ORIGINAL Fraggle Rock Series on Apple -- if yer kids haven't see it yet, dive in. The early concept of Fraggle Rock came when Jim Henson wished to create a kids show that would end war.
The whole universe of Fraggle Rock, with the three interconnecting species of Fraggles, Doozers and Gorgs (plus the Silly Creatures of course), is a place I wanna be.
