Greg and Steve met as performers on the Barbara Mandrell Show for Krofft Entertainment and then teamed as writers for Hanna-​Barbera. Their combined skills brought them to the attention of Mattel Toys in 1984. Signed to a three-​year creative contract, they wrote stories and characters for Mattel’s R&D. Creative contributions were made to Barbie, Hot Wheels, Wheeled Warriors and infant toys. One high-​profile project was the production and performance of a puppet-​animated special for Mattel’s hugely popular Popples toy line.

As puppeteers, Steve and Greg had a five-​year run on CBS Saturday morning’s Beakman’s World that followed a six-​year weekly run on ABC as Capt. O.G. Readmore, host of the ABC Weekend Specials. They have also performed and created puppets for Pee-Wee’s Playhouse and CBS Saturday morning series Riders in the Sky. They have worked as lead puppeteers with Jim Henson’s Muppets and Oscar-​winning special effects and makeup artist, Rick Baker.
