“Before I came toSesame Street, I didn’t feel like what I was doing was very important.
Big Bird helped me find my purpose,” Spinney said.
“Even as I step down from my roles, I feel I will always be Big Bird.
And even Oscar, once in a while!
They have given me great joy, led me to my true calling and my wonderful wife!
and created a lifetime of memories that I will cherish forever.”
