Kermit the Frog Actor 'Devastated' From Firing
278After Jim Henson passed away, Steve Whitmire took over the role of Kermit the Frog, and has been playing the role for 27 years. He was fired for reasons unknown, and now he's devastated. What happened? Why fire someone responsible for the most memorable Muppet?
