Trash talk with Caroll Spinney
At 75, legendary Sesame puppeteer Caroll Spinney is spry and quick-witted - maybe it's the 40 years he's spent performing as the acerbic, yet charming, Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street that have made him so sharp. Spinney, Oscar and his other alter-ego, Big Bird, have been on the show since day one. And on a chilly October evening at a dress rehearsal for a performance being mounted in the name of Canada's National Recycling Week at a local elementary school in Toronto, KidScreen's editor Lana Castleman got the chance to talk to Spinney about what it's been like to be an integral part of the iconic children's series.
