    As much as I think Henson is the definitive actor for Kermit so was Whitmire both were irreplaceable they were both fantastic!

      No one can replace Steve especially with own characters like Rizzo and Wembley.

      Why did they fired Steve, is it because of money or Henson family issues?

    Grew up watching Muppets, Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock. Miss having Steve’s Kermit, but especially Rizzo who is one of my favourites. Lovely to hear from him.

    Steve is the best. I haven't watched the new Fraggle Rock because he isn't in it.

      If you’re a Muppet fan and a Fraggle rock fan, go ahead and watch it. It’s not as distracting as you think. You should support the performers no matter what

    I love you, Steve! Your Kermit would have made Jim proud. I wish someone would have asked you why, in the name of all that's amphibian, Disney recast Kermit. It would be great if you could answer here.

    He just feels like a part of the Muppet soul and when they let him go, it really felt like the Muppets have missed something, an element of it all bringing it all together. I really do think it was Steve.

  • @Laurenteamec

    Can I also say ditto to the Kermit and Miss Piggy situation? They should definitely get back together.

    It’s just not fair I want him to still voice Kermit the Frog and The Muppets franchise will never be the same without him

      That's why I don't watch current Muppet stuff. Plus I like older Muppets anyway.

    People talk about missing Steve Whitmire as Kermit but I’m heart broken about him not returning to Dark Crystal as SkekTek. Mark Hamill didn’t seem to even try to replicate his voice.

    Good that Cave In exist, he's better off independent than being around a scummy business. It doesn't help either that Disney and the muppet studios' business is a huge mess.
