  • Hey, It's That Guy! and/or Hey, It's That Voice!:
    • Bob Dermer, the puppeteer and voice for Sam, also worked in the 1970s series Readalong and the long-running CBC show Mr.Dressup. He was also the voices of Ralph from The Raccoons and Grumpy Bear in the 1980s adaptations of Care Bears.
    • Nina Keogh, the puppeteer and voice for Muffy, also worked on Readalong. She also did work on Polka Dot Door, The Friendly Giant and Mr. Dressup.
    • Valdy (a popular Canadian folksinger from the '70s) makes a special guest appearance at the end of "Trash."
    • John Stocker, probably best known as the voice of Beastly in the Nelvana version of Care Bears, guest stars as sneaky night manager Crandall J. Crummington III in "Sam and the Robot".
    • Gerry Parkes, who guest-starred in "Phil's Visit," was also in the original Fraggle Rock (as Doc), Shining Time Station and Boondock Saints.
    • Cheryl Wagner (Mrs. Pennypacker) also performed on Fraggle Rock, as the face and voice of Ma Gorg.
    • Nikki Tilroe (The Mime Lady) was also a puppeteer on Fraggle Rock in addition to appearing in Cucumber (another TVO production) and Charlie Horse Music Pizza.
    • Jeff Hyslop has had several TV and film roles since the show ended, but he's mostly been active in the theater. If you grew up watching this show, it can be a bit jarring to see the guy who played Jeff the mannequin playing The Phantom of the Opera onstage.
    • Nerene Virgin had a few TV roles as well (including Mrs. Larson in the CHCH/PBS Ramona series), although she was more active as a CBC newscaster until the mid-2000s. She sadly passed away in January 2024.
