Guy Edward Pearce (born October 5, 1967) is an English-born Australian actor.

Born in Ely, England, his parents (his father a New Zealander pilot who died when Pearce was 9, his mother an English schoolteacher) moved to Geelong, Australia when he was 3 years old. Prior to his acting career, Pearce was a competitive amateur bodybuilder from age 16-22, culminating in a Mr. Natural Victoria title.

Pearce has always been interested in performing, and he excelled at mimicking accents. He starred in several plays when he was young, and graduated to television when he was cast in the Australian soap opera Neighbours in 1985, playing the role of Mike Young for several years. Pearce also found roles in other television series such as Home and Away (1988) and Snowy River: The McGregor Saga (1993).

His first major breakthrough into film came with his role as a drag queen in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert in 1994. Since then, he has appeared in several US productions including L.A. Confidential, Ravenous, Rules of Engagement, Memento, The Count of Monte Cristo, and The Time Machine. However, he continues to act in Australian theatre productions as well as Australian films, such as The Hard Word (2002) and the critically lauded The Proposition (2005). Pearce recently received critical acclaim for his portrayal of pop artist Andy Warhol in the otherwise derided film Factory Girl. He will portray Harry Houdini in the upcoming film "Death-Defying Acts."

Pearce currently lives in Melbourne, Australia.
