Brian Herring

Brian Herring is a puppeteer who has performed in various Muppet/Henson productions, notably as Father Mouse and assorted guest customers on Mopatop's Shop, Diggs on Construction Site, Hubba Hubba and Groove in later seasons of The Hoobs.
Herring's puppetry career began in 1992, when he auditioned for Spitting Image by claiming he had worked on the Little Shop of Horrors stage show, and six weeks later he was part of Spitting Image. Even though he was creative with the truth about doing Little Shop of Horrors, he has since done it eight times.BBC Radio interview, April 24 2007
His other work includes The Animal Magic Show (of which he also wrote many episodes), Paws on Bookaboo, Roger and the Rotten Trolls, What's Your News?, Headcases, A Shine of Rainbows, 28 Weeks Later, Hellboy 2: The Golden Army and Prometheus. Herring, along with Dave Chapman, served as the on-set puppeteer for the droid BB-8 in 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
He joined Olly Murrs onstage with Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy and Animal on The X Factor.
