Caroll Spinney

Caroll Spinney, the man behind Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street for the last 50 years, has announced his retirement from his famous roles. 

Truly blessed to have met and spoken with him several years ago, and played a few small parts in a handful of episodes of Sesame alongside him. The Big Bird feather I was given on my first day on The Street is one of my most prized possessions.

Thanks for everything, sir!
