No matter who you are, or how old you are, there is a strong chance that Frank Oz‘ work has had a direct impact on your life. Whether it’s his work as a puppeteer and voice artist on The Muppets, Sesame Street, and Star Wars, or as director of films such as The Dark Crystal, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Death at a Funeral, and of course Little Shop of Horrors, Oz has been one of popular culture’s most iconic figures for over half a century now. They do say don’t meet your heroes, but in Oz’ case I would heartily recommend at least an hour on the phone from across the Atlantic, which is exactly what he kindly gave Filmhounds in late August to discuss his cult classic as it turns 35.
