From an interview with actor Giles Matthey

Born an Aussie, Matthey moved to London where he became exposed to the world of acting at a young age. In the belly of the theatre beast, he became captivated by the skill of actor Charles Dance in Shadowlands. “I was watching his every move and realised that I felt like I was not watching a play, it felt like these events were actually unfolding in front of me,” he tells us. “I thought if I could do that, if I worked hard enough, if I had the talent, I would love to be a professional actor.”
