Biography

Early life

Pryce was born John Price in Holywell, Flintshire, Wales, the son of Margaret Ellen (née Williams), a retail cashier and shopkeeper, and Isaac Price, a coal miner who also ran a small general grocery shop. Pryce has two older sisters. He was educated at Holywell Grammar School (today Holywell High School), and, at the age of 16, he went to art college and then started training to be a teacher at Edge Hill College in Ormskirk. While studying, he took part in a college theatre production. An impressed friend sent off to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art for an application form, and Pryce was awarded a scholarship to RADA.

1980s

In 1980, his performance in the title role of "Hamlet" at the Royal Court Theatre won him an Olivier Award, and was acclaimed by some critics as the definitive Hamlet of his generation.

Also during this year, Pryce had a small but pivotal role as Zarniwoop in the 12th episode of the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" radio series, one that he reprised for the "Quintessential Phase" which was broadcast in 2005.

After appearing mostly in TV films, such as "Something Wicked This Way Comes" and the Ian McEwan-scripted film "The Ploughman's Lunch", he achieved a breakthrough with his role as the subdued protagonist Sam Lowry in the ex-Monty Python Terry Gilliam's 1985 film, "Brazil". The film, an analogy to Orwell's novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four", was acclaimed in Europe and won two BAFTA Film Awards. In the American version, Universal Pictures tried to remove numerous scenes in order to make the film "shorter" and more consumer-friendly.cite journal | last = Matthews | first = Jack | title = Dreaming Brazil | journal = Essay accompanying DVD release by The Criterion Collection] the movie was also well received in the United States and won three awards from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and two Academy Awards nominations.

During the early 2000s Pryce starred and participated in a variety of movie flops, such as "The Affair of the Necklace", "What a Girl Wants", "Unconditional Love" and Terry Gilliam's unfinished "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote". While his on-screen projects were failing, however, the 2001 London stage production of "My Fair Lady" and his portrayal of Professor Henry Higgins was being acclaimed by the media.
