Wayne Pygram, the man under Scorpius’ leather helmet, Wayne Pygram is an experienced Australian actor, with a background in theatre and screen. His vivid portrayal of the half-Scarran scientist had a lot to do with the fact Scorpy’s still around - originally he was meant to appear in just four episodes.

Before taking on the role of Scorpius at the end of the first season of Farscape, Wayne was known to Australian audiences for his appearances in TV shows such as Time Trax, Water Rats and The Lost World. He’s also had roles in feature films such as Farewell to the King and Risk.

Closer to Harvey than Scorpius, Wayne is a bit of a cheeky chappie in real life. He’s also a professional rock drummer, despite listing Spinal Tap as his favourite ever film. Doesn’t he know the fate that awaits him?
