Biography
Welsh native Jonathan Pryce switched from art studies to acting after winning a RADA scholarship. After a few seasons with the Liverpool Everyman Theatre, Pryce scored a London success in Comedians, winning a Tony award when the play moved to Broadway in 1976. He has since starred in the Broadway musicals Miss Saigon and Oliver! In many of his 25 films, Pryce has been seen as Machiavellian heavies; a notable exception was his luckless clerk in Terry Gilliam's futuristic fable Brazil (1985). Much of his American fan following is derived from his TV commercial appearances as the Infiniti spokesman. In 1995, Jonathan Pryce won a Cannes Film Festival best actor award for his portrayal of writer Lytton Strachey in Carrington.

- He appeared in most of Nissan's luxury car division in America, Infiniti's television ads in the mid-1990s.
- Won two Tony Awards: in 1977 as Best Actor (Featured Role - Play) for "Comedians," and in 1991 for Best Actor (Musical) for "Miss Saigon."
- Pryce was at the center of a racially-charged controversy regarding his role in the mid-1980s musical Miss Saigon. He played "The Engineer," a half-French Caucasian/half-Vietnamese Asian pimp, in the original London cast, but when producer Cameron Mackintosh wanted to transfer the UK cast to the original Broadway opening, the US performers' union Actors' Equity objected on the grounds that Pryce, a Welsh Caucasian, should not have been allowed to play an Asian person. Their arguments against Pryce's casting were that a White person playing an Asian one amounted to minstrelsy, denied already-scarce roles to Asian actors, and was an "affront to the Asian community." In response, Mackintosh canceled the Broadway production (despite having sold advance tickets), so Actor's Equity reversed its decision on a technicality in their bylaws that exempts producers from having to audition domestic actors for a transplanted production if the original star is deemed famous enough. The policies regarding racial casting issues that Actor's Equity set in place in response to this incident still govern Broadway casting as of 2006.
