HUGH DANCY
After having graduated from St. Peter's College, Oxford, in 1997, where he read English literature, Hugh moved to London to pursue his wish to become an actor.
His first acting job came from Lynda la Plante who cast him in the TV series "Trial and Retribution II" where he played one of the three disciples of a mesmeric killer (Ian Glenn). This introduction to television was quickly followed by a series of major roles in television series/adaptations. The BBC's "Dangerfield", starring Nigel Havers as David Copperfield in a production of the Charles Dicke's’ novel, directed by Peter Medak, alongside a large cast of British and American actors, including Eileen Atkins, Anthony Andrews, Nigel Davenport and Sally Field. Danny in the hugely popular "Cold Feet", Leon in an adaptation of Madame Bovary directed by Tim Fywell, and D'Artagnan in "Young Blades", a story inspired by Dumas' Three Musketeers.
At the end of filming Young Blades in France, Hugh returned to England to take on a stage role for the first time in several years. Billy and the Crab Lady, was one of the first staged at the newly renovated Soho Theatre and offered Hugh a new opportunity to play a comic role. In May 2000 Hugh began filming on "The Sleeping Dictionary", a love story written and directed by Guy Jenkin and almost all shot on location in Sarawak, Borneo, playing alongside Bob Hoskins and Jessica Alba. August 2000 saw Hugh return to the theatre to perform in "To the Green Fields Beyond" by Nick Whitby and directed by Sam Mendes. 2001 took Hugh to Morocco to film Ridley Scott's Oscar nominated "Black Hawk Down". He then went on to film the crime thriller "Tempo" directed by Eric Styles, staring opposite Melanie Griffith and Rachel Leigh Cook.
In November 2002 Hugh returned to the small screen with his role in the BBC's adaptation of George Elliot's emotionally intense, "Daniel Deronda" and then went on to spend several months on location in Ireland, filming "Ella Enchanted", directed by Tommy O'Haver. In the second half of 2003, Hugh returned to Ireland to take on the role of Galahad in Jerry Bruckheimer's "King Arthur". Antoine Fuqua directed this epic drama, which dealt with the history and politics of Arthur's reign in 5th Century Britain, and Hugh starred alongside the cream of today's British talent, including Clive Owen, Keira Knightley and Ray Winstone. In July 2004 Hugh traveled to Rwanda to take on the lead role in Michael Caton-Jones' "Shooting Dogs" playing Joe Connor, a volunteer teacher in a Rwandan school that becomes a UN retreat position. Hugh's next role was that of Essex in "Elizabeth I", co-starring Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth I and Jeremy Irons. The project reunited Hugh with the director, Tom Hooper, and was shot during June and July 2005 in Lithuania. From there, Hugh went to Bucharest to work on "Blood and Chocolate", directed by Katja von Garnierco, and staring Olivier Martinez and Agnes Bruckner.
He will next be seen in Lajos Koltai's "Evening" with Vanessa Redgrave, Claire Danes and Toni Collette.
