Biography

Born in Hereford, Herefordshire, Tom Price discovered a talent for comedy during his youth. This led to his involvement in stage productions at Warwick University, from which he obtained a degree in English literature. Having decided against attending drama school, Price instead pursued acting jobs in London. He made his television debut in a 2005 episode of Absolute Power and, soon thereafter, he co-starred in the sketch show Swinging. The following year, Price made a handful of appearances in the Doctor Who spin-off series Torchwood; he played PC Andy Davidson, the former colleague of Eve Myles' Gwen Cooper. He returned to Torchwood for three more episodes during its 2008 run, including an uncredited cameo in the season premiere, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. Price then enjoyed a more prominent role in 2009's season-spanning Children Of Earth, as well as that year's BBC Radio Four play Asylum. In the meantime, he could also be seen in shows like The Wrong Door and Doctors, and he began working as a host on BBC Radio Wales.

Price's talent for comedy led him to establish himself as a stand-up comic, including multiple appearances at the Edinburgh Festival. At the same time, he continued to take various television roles, on the likes of Secret Diary Of A Call Girl, Stella, Victoria and Tourist Trap. Price's first movie credit came in Clint Eastwood's 2010 film Hereafter. He returned to Torchwood for its final season in 2011, with Andy now promoted to Sergeant. Price also became involved with the range of Torchwood audio dramas from Big Finish Productions, starting with One Rule in 2015. He would later play other characters in the company's various Doctor Who-related strands, and he also wrote the 2023 Torchwood release Thirst Trap. Price and his wife, Beth Morrey, have two sons.
