Before They Were Stars
HOT GALLERY: Muppets Actors Before They Were Stars
There are many problems in the world today. But you know what? The Muppets are back on the big screen. That means that at least for a little while (110 minutes, give or take), everything will be fine. The latest Muppet movie adventure is directed by James Bobin (HBO's The Flight of the Conchords) and written by Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall). Any Muppet endeavor brings out the biggest and brightest stars, and by that we mean the ones that were willing to work for scale. (See what we did there? Wocka wocka wocka!) Let's play a little "Who am I?" with the cast of The Muppets. See how many you can guess correctly! By Brett Singer

Chris Cooper as Tex Richman
If you guessed Chris Cooper, you are either (a) lying or (b) a really big fan of his. (Note: Either answer is acceptable. We’re nothing if not flexible.) In The Muppets, Cooper plays the incredibly evil and awesomely named oilman Tex Richman, who wants to knock down the old Muppet Theater because there’s oil underneath it. He can’t do that! Somebody stop him! Oh, wait—that’s the plot of the movie. Sorry. We get confused sometimes.
