Fun fact:
Off-duty Fraggle puppets were hung next to a sign that read:
"Please don't fondle the stars."

Gobo: Jerry Nelson Red: Karen Prell Wembley: Steve Whitmire Boober: Dave Goelz Mokey: Kathy Mullen

The Gorgs each required two performers, who included Richard Hunt,
Rob Mills, Trish Leeper, Myra Fried, Gordon Robertson and Jerry Nelson.
One performer wore the full-body Gorg costume; the second operated
the Gorg's mouth and eye movements via remote control and also
performed that Gorg's voice.

These were the main characters but far from the only ones! The Storyteller Fraggle
himself, Terry Angus, brought that to my attention and graciously filled in the blanks.
He worked on the show all five years from show 24 (or was it 26?) on as the Storyteller
as well as Brio the Minstrel Fraggle and Background Fraggle Morris.

Here's his list of other performers.
