Peter Linz (born June 28, 1967) is an American puppeteer.[1] His most prominent role is being the performer for the character Walter who was introduced in the 2011 feature film The Muppets.[2][3] Linz recounts receiving the role as his favorite; "Apart from my wedding day and birth of my children, being cast as Walter was one of the greatest moments of my life. I was beyond happiness."[4]

He has performed many characters on children's television shows: perhaps some of his best known performing roles are Snook in It's a Big Big World, Tutter in Bear in the Big Blue House and Theo Lion in Between the Lions, though he has also performed in Blue's Room, Sesame Street,[3] and The Puzzle Place.

Linz also performed in the Broadway musical Avenue Q.[5]
