“I’m not really a singer,” Goldstein confesses.
“The only people that are going to get me to sing are ‘Fraggle Rock.'”

“They’re so good at songs,” Goldstein tells EW of the Henson company composers.

“Every song is a banger.
I got sent the song.
They’d written it; it was done and I just had to learn it.

I’m not really a singer, so I was quite nervous about doing a song.
The opportunity to guest-star on theApple TV+series came via Goldstein’s meet and greet with The Jim Henson Company.
“And they were like, ‘Is there anything you’d like to do?’

And I was like, ‘I’ll do whatever you want, anything you want.'”
The team then floated the idea of theFraggle Rockreboot, which Goldstein responded to enthusiastically.
And it turned out to be a bit of a full circle moment for theTed Lassostar.
“That’s actually the first thing I saw on the big screen.
It’s pretty f—-ing magical.”
“He’s left England and gone on these adventures and he’s a bit odd.
So, his voice is a bit higher and he’s posh.
But what I like about him is he’s excited by everything, and he’s curious.
Everything is interesting to him, but there’s a real innocence to him.
Every time he turns his head, there’s a new surprise.
I feel like he’s probably a bit forgetful as well.
Everything is new all the time.
It’s almost like a goldfish.”
Instead, they would rather give things solely out of friendship, teaching Pryce a valuable lesson.
I love howFraggle Rocktakes on huge issues about ways the world can run,” reflects Goldstein.
“I believe Jim Henson originally intended the show to be about world peace.
Sorry to be sincere but its true.
That’s the dream, isn’t it?”
“What I didn’t know about Fraggles is they’re massive,” he adds.
“He’s f—ing massive.
He’s really tall.
He’s probably like half of me.
It’s much bigger than I thought.
And beautiful, beautiful, beautiful craftsmanship.
I’m a goner.
I immediately buy into it.
It’s quite magical.
The beauty of it is that you [and the performer] buy into it together.
Obviously it’s a man and a puppet, but I’m all in.”
“My dream is to make a Muppet movie,” he says.
“That would be the thing I would like to do before I die.
Goldstein’s episode ofFraggle Rockhits AppleTV + on Friday, March 29.
