Peter Linz

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. 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 Muppet character Walter stars in the films The Muppets and Muppets Most Wanted. Since 2015, Linz has been the performer of Herry Monster, and he was later cast as Ernie in 2017.

In Between the Lions, he performed Theo Lion and various other characters.
