Quigley's Village - Minor Characters

Minor Characters

• Alex (puppeteer Paul Lessard, named after the character Michael J Fox played on Family Ties) - A brown fox who speaks with a Southern accent. Very few episodes feature him.
• Milty (puppeteer Richard Carlson and named after a former president of the Evangelical Covenant Church, Reverend Milton B. Engebretson) - A moose who has a very small role throughout the series run. Although he appears in the opening credits, he appears in a limited number of episodes. One plausible explanation for his limited role, was that he was voiced by Rick Carlson, who also plays Mr. Quigley. Logically, any scene Mr. Quigley is in, would make it nearly impossibly for him to voice Milty at the same time. Although, it would take the ventriloquist skills of a puppeteering giant and years of hard work and dedication and some spectacular feats of vocal acrobats, It would be possible for Rick Carlson to do both at once.
• Doctor Caremore - A young, black woman, who takes care of the villigers when they are hurt. She is very gentle and always knows how to help the villagers when they are hurt. However, she is seen in few episodes. She introduces Spike at the village talent show.
• Doc 2 (Paul Lessard) - An old man who is sometimes seen outside of his office helping solve problems for the villagers. He is the doctor for the first 7 episodes.
• Schnaz - Although never directly spoken too, the elephant trunk is seen many times, and even during the theme song. In a phenomenon like Wilson (Home Improvement), he/she is never seen completely. The trunk, while very animated is limited in its movement and possibilities, is the only part seen during the series run, similar to Fluffy the elephant owned by Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street. A hand can sometimes be seen operating Schnaz, mainly in the opening intro.
