Biography

Peter Linz has been playing with puppets since the age of three and has wanted to work in children's television since age 10. After a short detour, during which he obtained a degree in psychology from the University of Georgia, his dream was realized when he was hired to be a puppeteer with the Jim Henson Company. His puppet characters can be seen on Sesame Street, Between the Lions (Theo, Announcer Bunny, Gawain), It's A Big Big World (Snook the Sloth, Oko), Blue's Room (Polka Dots, Doodle Board), The Book of Pooh (Pooh) and Bear in the Big Blue House (Tutter, Pip). Peter's film credits include the recent remake of The Producers, as well as Muppets From Space and Men in Black. He has created and led workshops in television puppetry under the auspices of the Jim Henson Company in Germany, China, Mexico and the United States. Peter is an original Broadway cast member of the Tony Award winning musical Avenue Q.
