He appeared in Labyrinth, a film that featured art direction by both of his parents, when he was just one year old. He later trained at New York's Muppet Workshop and studied at Wimbledon Art College.
In 2014, he made a short puppet film titled Lessons Learned. The project was executive produced by Heather Henson (the daughter of their puppeteer Jim Henson).
He was born in London, England, to artist Brian Froud and doll and puppet designer Wendy Midener Froud.
During the filming of the Lord of the Rings fantasy saga, Froud served as an apprentice to director Peter Jackson.
