Biography[]
Greg was the lead singer in the original incarnation of the group, singing lead on most of the group's songs. He has played guitar, keyboards and drums in the videos and at concerts, making him one of the only Wiggles alongside Sam and Jeff to have played all three of the other Wiggle's lead instruments.
Greg is also known for doing magic tricks during the classic years of The Wiggles. While most of his magic tricks were successful with help from the audience, he could never manage to pull the rabbit out of his hat.

Trivia[]
- He is the oldest yellow Wiggle.
- He is the tallest Wiggle of the original generation and of all of the members (6'4).
- He is the youngest Wiggle of the original generation.
- When Greg returned to the group in 2012, he was supposed to stay from January to August of that year. The reason why was because he was going to help transition from Sam to a new yellow Wiggle, who was going to be Simon. However, he was eventually asked to stay until the end of the year so he could finish alongside Murray and Jeff when they decided to retire from performing with The Wiggles.
- He became a Wiggle when he was 19 years old and held the record for the youngest age to become a Wiggle until Tsehay joined the group when she was 16 years old.

- In addition, he and Anthony had a race to the department store for the blue shirt when getting their coloured skivvies. "Haha, victory! I'm not sure if Pagey ever liked yellow." Anthony said in an interview.
- He is the only Wiggle who has not played or created any of The Wiggles' friends not counting doing the voice for puppet Captain Feathersword.
