I am a big fan of Hugh Dancy. Hugh turns 39 today. Unlike many actors from abroad, Hugh so far is playing his success in the US just right, non flashy roles in good pictures, no big blockbusters, just interesting roles as he gains a loyal following. I was shocked at how much I enjoyed The Jane Austen Book Club, and this was mostly due to Hugh and the great character he played, who I fell for in his first scene. (See previous posts on Hugh).
Hugh Michael Horace Dancy
(born 19 June 1975) is an English actor and model. He is best known for his role as Will Graham in the television series Hannibal.
Dancy was born in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, and raised in Newcastle-under-Lyme. His mother, Sarah Ann (née Birley), works in academic publishing. His father is philosophy professor Jonathan Dancy, who teaches at the University of Reading and at the University of Texas at Austin.
Hugh is the oldest of three children, followed by brother John Christopher Dancy (born 25 May 1977), who is co-director of the travel company Trufflepig Travel, and sister Katharine Sarah Redman (born 5 March 1980). From the age of 5 to the age of 10, Dancy was educated at Edenhurst Preparatory School in Newcastle-under-Lyme. At age 10, Dancy attended boarding school at the Dragon School in Oxford, then at 13 at Winchester College. At age 18, he acted in the Winchester College Players production of Twelfth Night which was performed in both Winchester and at the Minack Theatre in Cornwall. He went on to study English under poet and playwright Francis Warner at St Peter's College, Oxford.
