Moran\'s involvement with The Wiggles began when he appeared in "Haste to the Wedding" and "Evie and the Birdman", both written by John Field, Anthony Field\'s brother and songwriter for The Wiggles. Moran began performing with The Wiggles in 1998, hosting and touring with the "Dorothy the Dinosaur Show" throughout Australia and New Zealand, in small venues The Wiggles "had grown too big for". He played Professor Singalottasonga and Dapper Dave in the group\'s TV series. In 2002, Moran became Greg Page\'s understudy and filled in for Page over 150 times. Page was advised by his doctors not to travel, so Moran performed in his place during the group\'s 2006 US tour. Moran reported that he was asked to permanently join The Wiggles "a couple of days" before Page announced his retirement in November 2006. Moran\'s shtick on stage was losing things.\n', '
