Dominic Field, also known as the Tree of Wisdom in The Wiggles’ Wiggle & Learn Big Show, never expected to become a viral sensation. But with his high-energy dancing and infectious positivity, he’s captured the internet’s heart — and built a loyal following along the way.
A Family Affair Turned Viral
Dominic’s connection to The Wiggles is deep-rooted. His uncle, Anthony (the Blue Wiggle), and his dad, Paul (the managing director), have both been integral to the group’s success, so Dominic has been part of the Wiggles family for years. He’s helped with Wags the Dog, understudied for Captain Feathersword, and now, as the Tree of Wisdom, he’s a breakout star.
“I didn’t expect the Tree of Wisdom to take off like this!” laughs Dominic. His dance moves and quirky “wisdom” have gone viral, with millions of views on social media. What started as a fun, high-energy role has turned Dominic into a fan favorite, attracting kids and adults alike.
Building a Loyal Fanbase
So, what’s the secret? For Dominic, it’s all about staying true to himself. “I just try to bring the energy and be the goofy guy I am,” he says. “Kids connect with that.” He regularly engages with fans online, sharing behind-the-scenes moments and responding to messages, which has helped him build a dedicated following.
Staying Grounded in the Spotlight
Despite his internet fame, Dominic keeps his life balanced. He and his wife, Steph (who plays Dorothy the Dinosaur), unwind with PlayStation and movie nights. “It’s important to keep things simple and stay grounded,” he says.
