Julianne Buescher is an American actress, writer, and puppeteer who works across film, TV, radio, and stage. She's probably best known as the voice of Anko Mitarashi in Naruto, but she's also a skilled Muppet performer for Jim Henson Company productions. Cleveland, Ohio native Buescher has appeared on Sesame Street and The Muppets, and fans might remember her as "Piddles the Pug" alongside CeeLo Green at the 2011 Grammy Awards—a character she also brought to life in the improv puppet show Puppet Up!
