Who plays kermit the frog?
Steve Whitmire Trivia Performs beloved Muppets Kermit the Frog and Sesame Street’s Ernie since Jim Henson passed away in 1990. Was nicknamed Kermit in his youth because he aspired to become a puppeteer and even performed with a Kermit which he made. His high school yearbook even has the name “Kermit” on the front cover. Shares the same birthday (September 24) as original Kermit the frog Jim Henson. Appeared with Kermit at Barnes & Noble Lincoln Triangle (New York City) on November 14, 2003.
