Is Teller, from Penn and Teller, a mute?

Question

Can he speak? Is it an act? Is there any video of him speaking?

Answer 1

He's not a mute, he's more of a mime. :D

I know there is video of him speaking, if you look around you'll find some interviews.

I've heard his voice at least twice.

Once was during the "Stand up comedy" act and the other one was "The prehistoric world" act, the one with the balloons.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

No he isn't, it's a part of their act.  I've seen an interview with him and he is "hidden" but it was told that he was Teller from Penn and Teller.

Answer 3

He is not a mute. He just doesnt talk during their act or when on tv.

Its just for the entertainment value.

Answer 5

I don't know...he won't say.

Seriously, he can talk.  He's been interviewed on TV. They introduce him by name, but they just show his silhouette, or from behind.

Answer 6

Its just part of the act. Here is a video of him speaking-  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgtgOs_Ok...
