Danny DeVito
From Muppet Wiki
Danny DeVito (b. 1944) is an Emmy Award winning actor who became famous for his role as Louie DePalma on the TV show Taxi.
In the 1980s, he guest starred on Sesame Street as Vincent Van Grouch, the Grouch curator of the Museum of Trash (EKA: Episode 3007). In another segment, still in costume, he gets into a laugh competition with Oscar, who attempts to imitate every laughing pattern DeVito gives him.
Transitioning from television to film, DeVito often works with Kathleen Turner, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and director Tim Burton (including playing the Penguin in Batman Returns). He has also turned to producing (including the Andy Kaufman biopic Man in the Moon), and directing Death to Smoochy and Roald Dahl's Matilda.
Other notable appearances include hosting Saturday Night Live six times, voicing Herb Powell on The Simpsons, and playing Martini in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Other Muppet credits include appearing on the cover of Muppet Magazine issue 22 in 1988, appearing in the 1994 special Sesame Street's All-Star 25th Birthday: Stars and Street Forever! as a Worm TV reporter, and appearing in the celebrity version of Put Down the Duckie with his wife Rhea Perlman.
