Paul Paddick

Paddick 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. They have two children. Paddick's nickname is "Paddy."

Paddick 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. 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.

Paddick joined the Victoria State Opera's touring group of West Side Story where he played Diesel from 1992–94. He also played the Robber King in Don Quixote.

Paul Paddick (born 16 February 1967) is an Australian singer and actor. He is best known for his portrayal of Captain Feathersword, "the friendly pirate," a character associated with the children's band The Wiggles.
