Richard Hunt in MM
Tom Stone
OK, this may seem a bit far fetched, but here it goes:
You know howon various occations the puppeteers make a live performance in
the movies (Jerry Nelson in MTI)? Well, in the Muppet Movie, when Kermit
walks into the El Slezo and there's a waiter fella slapping down various
frog leg dishes, was it me, or did he kinda look like Richard Hunt? I know
there's some things about him that give me my doubts, but that's who he
reminds me of.

I don't think so - but I do remember Richard Hunt was a Taxi Driver in
the opening scene of TGMC.

Nope. That wasn't Richard. But the guy who throws Fozzie behind the bar
is Frank Oz, and Richard Hunt does make a cameo as a cab driver in Great
Muppet Caper, as does Jim Henson in the Duboney Club and Jerry Nelson in
the park of the same movie. Those are all the Muppeteer cameos in the
movies that I know of.

I don't think the waiter in the El Sleezo was Richard Hunt, but Hunt
does appear at the beginning of "The Great Muppet Caper," as an angry
taxi driver. Henson and Nelson make cameos in GMC, too.

No, that's not Richard Hunt, but keep a close eye out for cameo
apperances by Frank Oz in a leather jacket, and a very young Steve
Whitmire!

In article <51s9be$o...@newsbf02.news.aol.com>,
Jim Henson played the driver of the horse-drawn carriage in "The Muppets
Take Manhattan". He's never in a close shot, but his haircut and beard can
be recognized in the long shots.
And don't forget Jerry Nelson's wonderful performance as Squire Trelawny's
butler in "Muppet Treasure Island".
And if we want to get niggling, Brian Henson appeared onscreen in GMC. The
last scene of the "Couldn't We Ride" song has all the Muppets riding on
their bikes down a street in a park. There are a couple of tricycles out in
front of the Muppets, which are actually towing the Muppet bikes. Brian was
riding one of the tricycles.

Um.... are you sure about Steve's appearance?
Melissa Yowhan
Couldn't be more positive! It's a fact! :)

Richard and Jerry are seated inside the El Sleazo at the beginning of the
scene. I was standing behing Kermit and Fozzie during the beauty pageant
at the county fair (on crutches). Richard did drive a taxi in TGMC,
because he actually owned one in NYC.

So Steve, what second-jobs did the rest of ya-all do when there was
a lull in Muppet performances?

But by law, taxi drivers aren't allowed to speak audible English. Of
course, Richard did have a way with dialects....

That's one of the coolest things I've ever heard. I want to own a cab. A
big old yellow one. The question is, what would you do if someone just
walked in when you were stopped in traffic? What did he do?
Oh, and how come I never get to see these posts directly on the group?
They're always responded to by Bill or Kerry about a week before I read them.
Oh well.

Depends who got the taxi, I suppose.
