My Take
Eric Jacobson is one of those artists whose name most people never learn yet whose work lives in everyone's childhood. Inheriting Miss Piggy, Fozzie, and Animal from the Muppet legends, and voicing Bert, Grover, and Oscar on Sesame Street, he carries forward the souls Jim Henson and Frank Oz created. That is no small burden: he keeps beloved characters alive through nothing but voice and hands, never showing his own face. I have enormous respect for craftspeople like this, the hidden masters who shape millions of memories. His blend of actor, voice artist, and puppeteer is the real definition of mastery.
