OSCAR THE GROUCH

[Rick and Oscar the Grouch] This photo of me puppeteering Caroll Spinney's character Oscar is from a "Sesame" music video called "Handtalk" that we shot several years ago. Don't ask me where he's looking. I got to double Oscar in some scenes for a 25th birthday special for ABC a few years back, with Joe Pesci as one of the guest stars. In between takes he'd lean over into the can and taunt Oscar!
