Characters

Skreet

Skreet, performed by Allan Trautman, is one of the stars of S.U.D.S. As part of the Simian Undercover Detective Squad, Skreet works side-by-side with Yeager. He often goes undercover as part of his job, usually dressing as animals or women.

Henson.com description:

“Skreet is a veteran bad cop and resident loose cannon who'd just as soon punch a crook in the face as spit on him...of course he'd rather do both. Skreet doesn't play by the rules but if you find yourself in the urban jungle, he's the monkey you want on your back.[1]”

The ape puppet used for Skreet was previously seen as both Jackie and Lawrence the orangutans on Jim Henson's Animal Show and as Professor Ape in the company's Puppet Up! - Uncensored stage shows.

Yeager

Yeager, performed by Ted Michaels, is the other star of S.U.D.S. As part of the Simian Undercover Detective Squad, Yeager works side-by-side with Skreet.
