I fear for Steve Whitmire if I ever end up meeting him. If we were to ever meet, he'll have to deal with a sobbing 21 year old girl repeating the phrase "I appreciate you so much". Poor guy.
Jim Henson was a great man, and it was an extremely sad day when we lost him back in 1990. Fortunantly, we were very lucky to have Steve Whitmire around. Nobody will ever replace Jim, but Whitmire has done an amazing job taking over the role of Kermit. I think Jim Henson would be proud.
I'm so in love with Steve Whitmire and his work. No one in this world has inspired me as much as he has. I want to be just like him. One day I'd LOVE to meet him. But to work with him... That'd be my ultimate dream!
Much respect to klash, goelz, oz, nelson, etc.. but steve is certainly the guy i'm most impressed with.. he walks in giant shoes and keeps many of our favorite muppets alive.. he lives the dream i think many of us share.
Awesome! I've loved Steve since I was VERY small. I look up to him, admire him and constantly watch to see when kermit comes on tv! I love the guy he's fantastic! Thanks for posting this!
steve's story reminds me of something that would happen to Kermit, haha

I really admire this story. Jim went long before his time. But Kermit can live on forever.

Your right.
Jim Henson had been talking about Steve Whitmire doing Kermit's voice for sometime.
Jim Henson would be extremely busy sometimes, so he wanted Steve Whitmire to do Kermit's voice for times when Henson couldn't.
Riddler95 1 year ago
@Riddler95 No Jim Henson Mentened to Frank Oz that jim need some one to do kermit sometimes and he didn't mean Steve that what Steve Whitmire said.
