Jonathan Pryce

Versitle doesn't begin to describe him, Jonathan is an
all-rounder with talent to spare!

Johnathan could count himself a Liverpudlian as much as a Welshman since although he was born in Hollywell he studied art in Liverpool, swapped to drama in London and after graduating he returned Liverpool to begin his career with a theatrical company based there. Johnathan brings new meaning to the term 'versitile', a good singer, great stage presance and he does a great job as a film villain as in Tomorrow Never Dies (snatched from Anthony Hopkins!) and Ronin.
