Matthew J Vogel II (born October 6, 1970) has been a Muppet performer for the Jim Henson Company since the 1990s. On Sesame Street, Vogel served as the assistant puppeteer for Ernie, performing either one or both hands while Steve Whitmire performed the head and vocal. Eventually, Vogel's ability to mimic the sound and performance of Caroll Spinney's Big Bird was put to use. As of 2006, Vogel's primary performances as Big Bird are the "Journey to Ernie" segments. He's also taken over Jerry Nelson's characters, by the recommendation of Nelson himself. With The Muppets Studio, Vogel is, as of 2008, the voice of Floyd Pepper, Lew Zealand, Crazy Harry, Robin the Frog, & Camilla the Chicken. He has also taken over the puppetry of Jerry's most famous character, Count von Count, but Jerry continued to provide the voice of the Count until his death on August 23, 2012. It is assumed that Vogel will assume both voice and puppetry duties of the Count.
As of 2010 and 2011, he provides both the puppetry and voice of Sweetums and he performed him as well as Uncle Deadly (another of Jerry Nelson's Muppet characters) in the 2011 movie The Muppets.
Vogel performed the Muppets that were used in Kenneth's view of the world in the 30 Rock episode, "Apollo, Apollo."
He lives in New York City with his wife Kelly and his five children.
