"Paul Paddick" (b. February 16, 1967) is an Australian actor/musician. He currently plays Captain Feathersword, having done the role since 1996. Paddick met Anthony in 1993. Field needed a hernia operation, so he asked Paddick to temporarily take over for him; for that tour, he played the Blue Wiggle, the Captain, and Dorothy the Dinosaur and Wags the Dog (who were usually played by Murray). Murray, Greg and Jeff say that after that and Anthony came back, they told him that 'they have to keep him', and the rest is history.
