in
Redditch, Worcestershire
Best Known For:
The Jewel in the Crown.
Early-life:
Born Walter Charles Dance on October 10, 1946, in Redditch, Worcestershire. His engineer father died when Dance was four, after which he and his mother moved to Devon. She struggled to make ends meet, working in a café to support them both. After leaving school he enrolled at art college, but claims his heart wasn't in it. He took odd jobs to earn some cash, and spent his spare time doing amateur dramatics, prompting him to take acting lessons.
Career:
Dance spent five years with the Royal Shakespeare Company and made his TV debut in miniseries Edward the King in 1975, following it up with appearances in Tales of the Unexpected and Fatal Spring. His first film was 1981 Bond movie For Your Eyes Only, but his big break came in 1984 when he was cast in The Jewel in the Crown. He went on to star in White Mischief, Alien3, The Last Action Hero, Gosford Park, Ali G InDaHouse and First Born. Dance also produced, directed, and wrote the screenplay for the acclaimed film Ladies in Lavender. He was awarded an OBE in 2006. More recent projects include Your Highness, Strike Back, Secret State, Game of Thrones, and Dracula Untold.
Quote:
'If someone calls you suave and debonair you only get offered parts in a suit and a collar and tie. It just so happens I wear them reasonably well.'
Trivia:
Dance had no idea his Dracula Untold character was a resurrected Caligula until after the film was made.

Best Known For:
Playing Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Early-life:
Anthony Stewart Head was born in Camden, north London, on February 20, 1954. His father, Seafield Head, was a documentary film-maker and his mother, Helen Shingler, was an actress. His older brother, Murray, is an actor and singer best known for his role in the film Sunday Bloody Sunday and stage hit Chess. Anthony caught the acting bug at the age of six, when he first appeared in a school play, and went on to join the London Academy of Dramatic Arts.
Career:
Head's big break came when he was offered the role of Jesus in a West End production of Godspell. More musical stage work followed, as did roles in Secret Army, Bergerac, The Mallens, Love in a Cold Climate, and Accident. The Gold Blend ads in the late 1980s, in which he co-starred with Sharon Maughan, were hugely popular and made him a household name. They even went down well in America, paving the way for his successful run in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Since then, Head has returned to the UK, appearing in such projects as Little Britain, Doctor Who, Manchild, Sold, The Invisibles and Merlin.
Quote:
'Go outside the zone of confidence and find out what's on the other side.'
Trivia:
Head played the lead role in Radio 4 comedy Bleak Expectations between 2007 and 2012.
