Muppeteers in non-Henson acting roles

Several Muppet performers and designers, in addition to Cameos in Muppet/Henson productions, have occasionally ventured into on-camera acting in other films and television productions, which may or may not also use their puppetry skills. A handful of performers have had significant "face" acting careers before, after, or during their Muppet careers, while others have only appeared once or twice. For the sake of brevity, stage roles and commercial appearances, as well as any voice only roles, are not included.
