Mike is someone whose name you may not have heard of, but whose work you will definitely know.  He is a puppeteer who worked under Jim Henson, performing characters on The Muppet Show, The Dark Crystal, Fraggle Rock, and Labyrinth.   He was also one of Audrey 2's lip sync puppeteers on Little Shop Of Horrors, and brought life to Nien Nunb, an unusual looking character from Return Of The Jedi.... the man is a behind-the-scenes puppeteering god!<br />
