Richard Hunt(1951-1992)
- Actor
- Additional Crew
- Director
Richard Hunt did not have a face known to many -- his voice was known
more than anything else. He was a major stronghold behind Jim Henson's
"Muppets". 'Scooter', 'Janice', 'Sweetums' and a few others, were some
of the "Muppets" that Richard was a performer and puppeteer of. He
helped pave the way for Jim Henson and his company from the 1970s
through the early 90s, until his surprising death in 1992 of
AIDS.

- Quotes[on how he switched from working at a news studio to working as a puppeteer] Four months of it was all I could take, I decided to make a career of resting. I quit, went home and watched more Muppets. Then one day I thought, 'Hey, why don't I try to get with them?'
