Career
Pryce, whose grandparents were opera singers, started performing at an early age. He studied drama at the University of Sydney. He has performed in several musicals, including Cats as Old Deuteronomy, Masterpiece: The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber, Witches of Eastwick, Villain of Flowers, South Pacific, Fidelio with Opera Australia, and The Sunshine Club with the Sydney Theatre Company. He understudied for and played the Phantom in the Australian performance of Phantom of the Opera over 100 times. Pryce has appeared in numerous TV shows and films, including Water Rats, All Saints, Home and Away, and Hunt Angels.
Pryce joined The Wiggles organization in 2002, beginning as "one of their main voice artists" on several of their CDs. He joined their regular tour in 2011, as Ringo the Ringmaster and understudying for founding member Murray Cook. He also starred as King John in the Wiggles' production The Kingdom of Paramithi. In mid-2012, it was announced that Pryce would replace Cook in early 2013.
In 2016, The Wiggles released The Carnival of the Animals, its narration was written and performed by Pryce. The album, based on the piece by the French Romantic composer Camille Saint-Saens and performed by the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, introduced children to classical music and instruments.
Personal life
Pryce was born in Melbourne. Pryce has described himself as "always into fitness and health", but that The Wiggles' performance schedule demanded an even higher level. In early 2016, he described his workout routine and the group's competitive culture of fitness, especially among its male members, to ex-rugby league footballer Adam MacDougall.
In late 2015, Pryce became engaged to ex-gymnast Lauren Hannaford; they met four years earlier, when she toured with The Wiggles.
Pryce and Hannaford married in Sydney, Australia in January 2017.
