PITTSBURGH: Mister Rogers’ deliveryman’s son, whos now a real-life mail carrier, briefly appeared this week on an episode of a childrens show based on one of Mister Rogers puppets.
Alex Newell, 39, is the son of David Newell, who played Mr. McFeely on Mister Rogers Neighborhood. Alex Newell had a cameo on Daniel Tigers Neighborhood, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
In Wednesdays episode, Newell appears as a mail carrier ensuring a little girls care package has been delivered to a friend, according to the newspaper.
David Newell said Rogers was the first person who came to visit him at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital after each of his three children were born, including Alex.
In a way, Alex grew up in Mister Rogers neighborhood, in reality and in pretend, his dad said. He watched the program as he was growing up, and now hes making a delivery on (Daniel Tigers Neighborhood). And that makes me so proud.
Daniel Tigers Neighborhood features 4-year-old Daniel Tiger, son of the original shows Daniel Striped Tiger.
