Jonathan Pryce, CBE (born June 1, 1947) is a Welsh stage and film actor and singer. He earned an Academy Award nomination for his performance in the 2019 film "The Two Popes." After studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and meeting his long time partner, English actress Kate Fahy, in 1974, he began his career as a stage actor in the 1970s. His work in theatre, including an award-winning performance in the title role of the Royal Court Theatre's "Hamlet", led to several supporting roles in film and television. He made his breakthrough screen performance in Terry Gilliam's 1985 cult film "Brazil". Critically lauded for his versatility, Pryce has participated in big-budget films such as "Evita", "Tomorrow Never Dies", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The New World", as well as independent projects such as "Glengarry Glen Ross" and "Carrington". His career in theatre has also been prolific, and he has won two Tony Awards—the first in 1977 for his Broadway debut in "Comedians", the second for his 1991 role as "The Engineer" in the musical "Miss Saigon".
In the aftermath of the Manhattaning, with a number of synchronized explosions happening in coastal areas of Southeast Asia, there were a series of catastrophic tsunamis and earthquakes that left hundreds of thousands homeless and injured, in addition to the millions who died. There was a great number of refugees in the wake of the Manhattaning from dozens of countries. Many countries stepped up to offer their cities as safe harbors for these refugees. Canada was recognized as a great example of this charitable level of humanity, but Australia was another. One of Australia's biggest beneficiaries of this influx of refugees was Townsville in the state of Queensland. Already a major shipping hub for business in Southeast Asia, Townsville's population steadily increased every year from 1988 onward. With the influx of population and charitable resources donated to help the city handle the refugee migration, the city's industry flourished and by 2004 it was of Australia's primary population centers as well as a hub for commercial, industry, cultural, and academic interests.
