Murray Cook (born on June 30, 1960) is an Australian musician best known for being the original red wiggle from The Wiggles from 1991 (the band's debut) up until late 2012, when he retired along with Jeff Fatt & Greg Page. After he left, Simon Pryce replaced him as the red wiggle. Since leaving the Wiggles, he started playing in a band called the Soul Movers, which his role in that group still lasts to this day. In 2015, he was one of the members of the Australian jury for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. He is also is the father of wheelchair basketball player Georgia Munro-Cook.
Notes[]
- He was the original voice of Dorothy the Dinosaur before 1996. It’s unclear why he stopped voicing her but it may have been because the Wiggles’ wanted to make her more feminine.
