In a cameo in 1979's The Muppet Movie, who plays Lew Lord, a cigar-chewing Hollywood executive who quips "Tracy, prepare the standard ‘rich and famous’ contract for Kermit the Frog and company"?

As the story goes, Welles was enough of a Muppet fan to notice that the hat of one of the characters had changed color for the movie. According to the producers, the character’s name Lew Lord was a salute to British producer Lew Grade, who helped to get The Muppet Show on the air.
