He would practice every day after school, lip-synching to the sketches from Season 1 of The Muppet Show. All through elementary, middle, and high school, Freeman took puppets around to mess around with his friends and to give them lessons in the television style of puppetry. After high school, Freeman began creating, building, and performing original characters. In 2018, Sesame Street held a workshop to train young puppeteers from around the world. Out of over 400 international applicants, he was one of 30 selected to participate. This got him on Sesame Street’s radar, and several years later they held auditions for a new character named Wes. After a long audition process, he landed the part, and his world has since completely changed for the better. Along with playing Tamir on Sesame Street, he has worked on shows like The View, Helpsters, Michael Bublé’s Christmas in the City, The Muppets Mayhem and more.
