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".
The Sandman, or Dream, is one of the Endless, powerful beings who are older than gods and exist throughout creation as conceptual ideas given physical form who was imprisoned by a mortal wizard for over a century. Knowing this, the evil John Dee, also known as Doctor Destiny, seeks to take Dream’s powers for his own so he may become a god-like figure through trapping thousands of people in their worst nightmares. Soon, Dream escapes and, alongside his faithful sister Death embarks on an epic quest to reclaim his powerful artifacts - a ruby, a helm and a bag of sand - to restore his weakened kingdom, The Dreaming, and stop John Dee from achieving his goals while doing battle with many foes, including the terrifying Corithian.
