DeHaas commented on the experience in Starlog: "I was a Muppeteer for The Muppet Take Manhattan. I did some research, called up the Muppets people and asked, 'What do I have to do?' I went though an audition process, sent a videotape and got invited to audition. The next thing I knew, I was doing Kermit the Frog with Jim Henson in the scene. It was incredible. The experience of doing that was a significant boost to my confidence.""Alien Dreams," Starlog, September 1993.
