He is best known for his portrayal of Captain Feathersword, "the friendly pirate," a character associated with the children's band The Wiggles. Early life and educationPaddick earned a Bachelor of Music from Adelaide University, studying classical opera for three years.[1] He also studied drama at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), at the same time as Hugh Jackman.[1][2][3] He has stated that even during his training as a performer, he "much preferred to be the comic second than the actual lead because it was much more fun and a lot less pressure. You got to get all the laughs and subtly steal part of the show".[4] Paddick joined the Victoria State Opera's touring group of West Side Story where he played Diesel from 1992–94.[5][6] He also played the Robber King in Don Quixote.[7] The WigglesPaddick met Anthony Field, a founding member of The Wiggles, in 1993. By that time, Paddick had appeared in over fifteen major productions, including Victorian State Opera's Don Quixote and a two-year tour of West Side Story. Field needed a hernia operation, so he asked Paddick to temporarily take over for him; for that tour, he not only stepped in for Field as the Blue Wiggle, Wags the Dog, and Captain Feathersword, he also played Dorothy the Dinosaur, who was performed by Murray Cook, the Red Wiggle. A job that was supposed to end in five weeks resulted in Paddick touring and appearing with The Wiggles full-time since 1996. He also appears in all of their Australian-produced television programs.[1][4] Paddick has become so closely associated with the band that he is sometimes referred to as the "Fifth Wiggle," a name also given to Phillip Wilcher.[2][8] Paddick serves as "the adult relief" in The Wiggles' concerts; his vocal impersonations of singers such as Mick Jagger, Cher, Plácido Domingo, and James Hetfield, have been called "the high point of The Wiggles stage show."[1] Field states that Paddick is "as funny offstage as on".[9] Personal lifePaddick married dancer Charmaine Martin in 2004. Martin was a part of The Wiggles touring company; she played Pirate Charlie, Henry the Octopus, and Dorothy the Dinosaur.[1] They have two children.[1][10] Paddick's nickname is "Paddy."[4] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite news | last = Meacham | first = Steve | title = The master of sword play | work = The Sydney Morning Herald | date = 3 December 2005 | url = http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2005/12/01/1133311137232.html?page=fullpage | accessdate = 10 August 2007 }} {{The Wiggles}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Paddick, Paul}}2. ^1 {{cite news | last = Yeap | first = Sue | title = The fifth Wiggle sails on | work = The Age | date = 17 August 2006 | url = http://www.theage.com.au/news/tv--radio/the-fifth-wiggle-sails-on/2006/08/16/1155407816561.html | accessdate = 10 August 2007 }} 3. ^Anthony Field, in his 2012 book How I Got My Wiggle Back (pp. 151), described how an encounter with Jackman, at the height of The Wiggles' success and Paddick's doubt about his role with The Wiggles, encouraged Paddick to remain with the group. 4. ^1 2 {{cite news | last = Baughman | first = Tony | title = Captain Feathersword may steal The Wiggles' show | work = The Aiken Standard | date = 12 November 2007 | url =http://www.aikenstandard.com/story/1111GOFeathersword | accessdate = 16 November 2007}} 5. ^https://www.ausstage.edu.au/pages/event/24492 6. ^https://www.ausstage.edu.au/pages/event/23477 7. ^http://www.kickdance.com.au/staff_trusted/paul-paddick/ 8. ^{{cite news | last = Sams | first = Christine | title = The Fifth Wiggle speaks out | work = The Sydney Morning Herald | date = 1 August 2005 | url =http://www.smh.com.au/news/music/the-fifth-wiggle-speaks-out/2005/07/31/1122748516558.html | accessdate = 10 August 2007}} 9. ^{{cite video | people = Scott McNulty | date = 25 August 2009 | title = The Wiggles: An interview | url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tcy9AU35X0g | medium = YouTube clip | accessdate = 9 September 2009}} 10. ^{{cite web | url= http://www.bodyandsoul.com.au/celebrity+parents/parent+profiles/dad+in+profile+paul+paddick,9323 | title = Dad in profile: Paul Paddick | last = King | first = Eloise | work = body+soul | location=Australia | date = }} 4 : 1967 births|Living people|The Wiggles members|People from Adelaide |
