abstract
  • Peter Linz (born June 28, 1967) is a puppeteer, who performed such characters as Tutter and Pip on Bear in the Big Blue House, and Walter in The Muppets and Muppets Most Wanted.
  • A native of Georgia, Peter Linz (b. June 28, 1967) began puppeteering at the age of 3. He entertained his first audience (a group of birthday partygoers) at the age of 8 and was bitten by the Muppet bug at age 10. He went on to graduate with a BA in Psychology from the University of Georgia. Linz started performing on Sesame Street in 1991, playing numerous Anything Muppets and other characters. Some of his best-known characters, however, emerged on the Disney Channel preschool program Bear in the Big Blue House in the form of a nervous mouse named Tutter and a playful otter named Pip. His newest Muppet character Walter stars in the films The Muppets and Muppets Most Wanted. Since 2015, Linz has been the performer of Herry Monster, and was later cast as Ernie, starting with the Annual Sesame Workshop Benefit Gala and a series of Chrysler web videos. Linz has also created and led workshops in television puppetry under the auspices of the Jim Henson Company in Germany, China, Mexico and the United States. Linz has had great success outside of the Henson universe as well, performing in popular children's series such as Between the Lions, The Puzzle Place, Blue's Room, The Book of Pooh, Cousin Skeeter, It's a Big, Big World, and Lomax, The Hound of Music, in which he performs the title character. Linz performed on the stage in the Tony award-winning Broadway musical Avenue Q from 2003-2005 as puppet captain, ensemble member and understudy for Princeton, Rod, Brian, Nicky, Trekkie Monster, and Bad Idea Bear #1.
