Jonathan Pryce, CBE (born 1 June 1947) is a Welsh stage and film actor/singer. After studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and marrying English actress Kate Fahy in 1974, he began his career as a stage actor in the 1970s. His work in theatre, including an award-winning performance in the title role of the Royal Court Theatre's
Hamlet, led to several supporting roles in film and television. He made his breakthrough screen performance in Terry Gilliam's 1985 cult film
Brazil.
Critically lauded for his versatility, Pryce has participated in big-budget productions such as
Evita,
Tomorrow Never Dies,
Pirates of the Caribbean and
The New World, as well as independent projects such as
Glengarry Glen Ross and

Comedians, the second for his 1991 role as "the Engineer" in the musical
Miss Saigon.
