Trivia

Under the name Ed Spinney, Caroll Spinney animated a series of black and white cartoons called "Crazy Crayon".

He made an appearance as Big Bird on an episode of "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood." Before the show was taped, Fred Rogers explained his idea of having Spinney remove his Big Bird outfit on the show and discuss the inner workings of it. Spinney objected to this idea, saying that it was important to preserve the sense of wonder and magic that children have about Big Bird. Rogers agreed that Spinney was right, and Big Bird did appear on the show in a "Neighborhood of Make-Believe" segment.
