In films, Dr. Strangepork had silent cameo roles, accompanying Link and other pigs, in The Muppet Movie and The Muppets Take Manhattan, and a speaking part in The Muppet Christmas Carol as one of Fred's party guests. Along with Link & First Mate Piggy, he also appeared animated form in segments on the short-lived Little Muppet Monsters. In The Muppet Show Comic Book: Muppet Mash storyarc, he appears in the "Link Hogthrob, Monster Smasher" segments under the name Dr. Hugo Strangepork. Later appearances included a guest spot as the beach commissioner in a "Bays of Pigswatch" sketch on Muppets Tonight, a silent cameo with the Gonzo followers at Cape Doom in Muppets from Space, a vocal cameo in the video game Muppet Party Cruise, and the Virump video for "Bohemian Rhapsody". Matt Vogel performed Dr. Strangepork in the "Bohemian Rhapsody" video, and was quoted in an interview with The Muppet Mindset as saying, "I think he was in the video because they were trying to get as many recognizable characters to the fans in there somewhere but I’m looking forward to doing something with him some day.". Strangepork was most recently seen alongside fellow Swinetrek member, Link Hogthrob, in the 1st trailer for the upcoming movie "The Muppets". He was again glimpsed behind Scooter in the closing shot for the first full official trailer.
