HOT GALLERY: Muppets Actors Before They Were Stars
There are many problems in the world today. But you know what? The Muppets are back on the big screen. That means that at least for a little while (110 minutes, give or take), everything will be fine. The latest Muppet movie adventure is directed by James Bobin (HBO's The Flight of the Conchords) and written by Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall). Any Muppet endeavor brings out the biggest and brightest stars, and by that we mean the ones that were willing to work for scale. (See what we did there? Wocka wocka wocka!) Let's play a little "Who am I?" with the cast of The Muppets. See how many you can guess correctly! By Brett SingerYes, we knew you’d get this one right. (At least we hoped you would.) What’s funny is that Kermit and Miss Piggy have changed quite a bit since The Great Muppet Caper hit screens in 1981. Back then, Kermit was played by the late Jim Henson, and Miss Piggy was played by Frank Oz. In The Muppets, Steve Whitmire plays Kermit, and Eric Jacobson is the French-speaking, karate-chopping Miss Piggy. Bonus video: If you want to see something so cute it could melt steel, watch this interview that Drew McWeeny’s son Toshi did with Kermit and Piggy for HitFlix.com. Seriously, it’s amazing.
