      Brian Henson

      Brian Henson

      Highest Rated: 100% Jim Henson Idea Man (2024)

      Lowest Rated: 23% The Happytime Murders (2018)

      Birthday: Nov 3, 1963

      Birthplace: New York, New York, USA

      Brian Henson, the son of famed Muppets creator Jim Henson, was rushed into his father's position as head of the company when the elder Henson died unexpectedly in 1990 at age 53. Since then, the third of five children and eldest son has forged the Henson-Disney relationship (Jim Henson had sold out to Disney in the 80s) and has won mostly applause for both invigorating the Muppets franchise and branching out into new areas, such as the Emmy-winning NBC miniseries "Gulliver's Travels" (1996).
