TRIVIA:

Under the name Ed Spinney, Caroll Spinney animated a series of black and white cartoons called "Crazy Crayon".
Was the commencement speaker at Villanova University, in 2004.
He made an appearance as Big Bird on an episode of _"MisteRogers' Neighborhood" (1968)_ (qv). Before the show was taped, 'Fred Rogers (I)' (qv) wanted to have him remove the 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, instead, Big Bird appeared on the show in a Neighborhood of Make-Believe segment.
