bill irwin
mr. noodle, a major character in the "elmo's world" segment, was played by broadway actor bill irwin, who had previously worked with arlene sherman (one of the show's executive producers) in short films for "sesame street". when he became unavailable, sherman asked her friend michael jeter to replace irwin as mr. noodle's brother mr. noodle. jeter was in the role beginning in 2000, until his death in 2003. kristin chenoweth played mr. noodle's sister ms. noodle, and sarah jones played mr. noodle's other sister miss noodle. writer louise a. gikow called the noodles "a dynasty of mimes...in the tradition of great silent film comedians like charlie chaplin, buster keaton, and harold lloyd". they made mistakes, but solved them with the help of "enthusiastic kid voice-overs", which empowered children and helped them feel smarter than the adults. according to long-time "sesame street" writer judy freudberg, "mr. noodle, who never speaks, is all about trial and error. when you throw him a hat, he acts like he's never seen one before. kids feel empowered watching him because they can do what he can't".
