Greg Page - the yellow-shirted Wiggle known as Greg Wiggles in "The Wiggles World" of Wiggle lovers - is sick. Tomorrow, Greg Page is expected to announce his departure from The Wiggles' phenomenally successful franchise that he helped found. And possibly announce that Greg Page is being permanently replaced with Sam Moran.

Naturally, Wiggles-lovers will want to know: Who is Sam Moran? Where did Sam Moran come from? Will Sam Moran permanently replace the beloved Greg Page as Page tends to his mystery illness?

Here are a few answers: Born and raised in Wagga, Sam Moran auditioned for a role onthe tour version of The Dorothy the Dinosaur Show in 1997, and won it.

"I was over the moon when I found out I got the role of host, it was the big break I had been looking for," the Daily Advertiser quotes Moran as saying.

After hopping aboard with The Wiggles in 1998, as host of The Dorothy the Dinosaur Show, the Australian spin-off, Sam toured Australia and New Zealand, and later showed up in the Toot Toot video and Celebrity Big Brother with The Wiggles.

It was a long and windy road from the days Sam Moran spent singing and tap dancing throughout his days at Tolland Public School, and later Mt. Austin and Kooringal High Schools.

Back then Sam Moran dreamt of being an entertainment star. More than 20 years later, his dream is coming true. Best known for his operatic solos and never-ending notes held as Professor Singalottasonga, Sam is also dances with in Wiggles videos and during concert tours. On the Wiggles record albums, he's one of the main singers known as The Manzillas.

"The thing about this job is that it's fun," Sam told the Daily Advertiser. "I get to meet so many incredible people and, best of all, I get to spend my time doing what I love - singing and dancing on stage."

According to news reports, Sam is engaged to Wiggles cast member, Lyn Stuckey. Moran met Lyn Stuckey, a one-time Dorothy the Dinosaur star, in 2003 while working together.

Great reporting Paula. I've seen an episode of "The Wiggles" and that was when I was babysitting for a 5 years old. It was this and Seseme street. The show is really very cute. I like the singing and dancing.
