Muppeteers in non-Henson acting roles

Several Muppet performers, designers, writers, composers, or relatives (apart from cameos in Muppet/Henson productions) have occasionally ventured into on-camera acting in other films and television productions, which may or may not also use their artistic skills. A handful of performers have had significant "face" acting careers before, after, or during their Muppet careers, while others have only appeared on-camera once or twice. For the sake of brevity, stage roles and commercial appearances, as well as any voice-only roles, are not included. 
Performers who were primarily on-camera actors and puppeteered once or twice (Marilyn Sokol, Rhonda Hansome, etc.) are not covered.
