Costumed Children’s TV Characters Without Their Masks

Richard Hunt

The Jim Henson Workshop

Jerry Nelson played Sweetums in “The Frog Prince,” but when the character started appearing in “The Muppet Show,” he was reworked by Richard Hunt, who gave him a new voice, and continued to portray the character until 1991. Hunt also played other famous muppets, including Scooter, Beaker, and one half of the grumpy heckler duo, Statler and Waldorf.
