Revision as of 18:28, 14 September 2018
Matthew J. "Matt" Vogel is an American puppeteer, director, and singer who has also taken over most of Jerry Nelson's Muppet characters by the recommendation of Nelson himself.
He is the current performer of Kermit the Frog, Floyd Pepper, Robin the Frog, Crazy Harry, Camilla the Chicken, Dr. Julius Strangepork, Uncle Deadly, Pops, Lew Zealand, and Sweetums. On July 10, 2017, it was announced that he would be taking over for Steve Whitmire as Kermit the Frog, because of the latter leaving the Muppets.
He also performed 80s Robot in The Muppets, and Constantine in Muppets Most Wanted.
Outside Disney, he has become familiar for his work as Caroll Spinney's Big Bird understudy on Sesame Street. Also on Sesame Street, Matt started doing the puppetry for Jerry Nelson's characters, including Count von Count, in the early 2000s, but Nelson continued providing the voices until Nelson's passing in 2012, after which Vogel took over as the voices of those characters as well.
