Frank Oz

Frank Oz (born Frank Richard Oznowicz on May 25, 1944 in Hereford, Herefordshire, England) is an actor, puppeteer and director, best known as the puppeteer for and original voice of Yoda. Outside Star Wars, Oz is notable for his work with Jim Henson's Muppets and in film directing.
Although well known for the role of Yoda, Oz refuses to attend fan conventions or imitate the character's voice outside Star Wars, out of his respect for the role.
