Charlie the Ogre is Taminella Grinderfall's henchman in the Tales of the Tinkerdee pilot. Glimpsed only as a pair of over-sized legs in rags, Charlie towers over the other characters and uses a club to carry out the wishes of "Miss Tammy." While sneaking into the castle of King Goshposh, he assumes the identity of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Elements of Charlie's personality and role as Taminella's goon were incorporated into Sweetums in The Frog Prince.
Jim Henson supplied Charlie's voice, as well as appearing on-camera as his dirty legs.[1]
