Charles Dance introduces Jack Huston
Jack Huston and Charles Dance appear in The Great Fire, to be broadcast on ITV this autumn.

 

When I first met Jack I was struck that he looks like a Huston (he’s the nephew of Anjelica Huston and grandson of John Huston). He’s a very very good actor, which doesn’t always guarantee success. There are lots of good actors around who just haven’t had the breaks, or they lack the other elements that are necessary for in this business for success, which are presence and energy, great energy.

It’s almost more important in front of a camera than it is on the stage. When you’re working in television or on a film set, you have to be like a pressure cooker, with the lid firmly screwed down, and then you release the valve in increments as you go along. He’s got that in abundance.

I only have a couple of scenes with him in The Great Fire — but we talked to each other in our little corral of trailers, and he’s eminently likeable, but there’s this energy, and I just think it’s there inherently. Sometimes, I don’t know, I’m getting old now — but there are days when you just don’t have any, and you have to do something about that, whether you run around the block or do press-ups or something. Jack seems to kind of have it there, you know — plenty of it. He also photographs like a dream so he’s got everything going for him, the bastard.

I’ve yet to meet anyone who comes from that kind of heritage, whether it’s the Fox family or the Redgrave family, who abuses that privilege. I don’t think I know anyone like that who would say, ‘Do you know who I am?’ or ‘My aunt’s name is…’They just don’t do it. It can kind of help you get through the door, but if you haven’t got what it takes, you’ll soon find yourself out the door. It might help someone hiring you but it wouldn’t stop anyone firing you.

He’s got this quite beautiful face actually, and I think he’s a cinema-tographer’s dream. He’s got these big, dark, very expressive eyes and because of his American ancestry and all of the other elements that have fed into his technique, for want of a better word — because I’m not sure it is technique, I think it’s just stuff he’s absorbed — he knows the importance of doing very very little. I remember watching him — he’s got this face that’s so malleable, but it’s still, absolutely still. You don’t see cheek muscles clenching or lip muscles quivering — just these eyes, big dark eyes. It’s very impressive.

From an article in The Telegraph

http://aboutactorcharlesdance.blogspot.fr/

 

"Charles Dance has some wise words that Sarah Palin, the failed vice-presidential challenger, may care to ponder after she allegedly shouted “do you know who I am” after a rowdy house party in Anchorage.

Praising the actor Jack Huston – with whom he appears in The Great Fire on ITV this autumn – Dance tells the latest issue of Spectator Life: “I don’t think I know anyone... who would say 'do you know who I am?’ or 'my aunt’s name is...’ They just don’t do it.” Certainly it would take the 31-year-old Huston, son of Lady Margot Lavinia Cholmondeley, some time to list all of his famous relatives: the late director John Huston was his grandfather, his aunt is Anjelica Huston and David Cholmondeley, the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, is his uncle.

Exclusive video: Charles Dance reveals the secrets of giving an impassioned team talk to a packed dressing room :
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/rugby-world-cup/11084929/Rugby-World-Cup-2015-Behind-the-scenes-at-the-official-advert-featuring-Game-of-Thrones-star-Charles-Dance.html

starring Charles Dance, BBH Sport executive creative director explains how it all happened.

 

From the start we had a clear vision for the film and getting the tone exactly right was a huge part of that.

We wanted epic but real, rousing but not worthy, emotional but also funny.

Going into production the big question was, who is going to deliver the talk? Ideally an actor with Shakespeare and rugby flowing through their veins in equal measure. 

Stand-up Mr Charles Dance. Fantastic actor. Fanatical rugby fan.

Also known as Tywin Lannister, who strikes fear into the heart of everyone in a game far fiercer than rugby, The Game of Thrones. 

The excellent script our creative team, Ed and Lewis, originally wrote evolved as we studied the great speeches from sport, politics and Hollywood.

 ...      .                         

Our director, the award-winning Peter Cattaneo, spent ages with Charles rehearsing, perfecting and making the words his. Having our very own Lawrence Dallaglio to cast an experienced-eye over the words was invaluable help. He’s done a few rousing team talks in his time.

Then came the creative question of how to squeeze hundreds of people into a room the size of a squash court....'aboutactorcharlesdanceblogsot.fr)

After many conversations about post-production trickery we came around (as one invariably always does) to doing it for real and leaving the trickery to the editing.

While the creative question was how to fit everyone into one room, the logistical hurdle to clear was how to accumulate a cast of real players, legends and roles from within the game in under two weeks.

...

The three-day shoot was a logistical Rubik’s cube of a production for our producer Dave and his partner from Academy, Juliette, as well as key people at England Rugby 2015, who were an extension of our team as we worked together to deliver the film.

The finished film makes it look like everyone was in the room at the same time when actually very few people were there at the same time.

As challenging as it was it all came together well thanks to incredible attention to detail. From the choreographing of the "team" in the room to the choice of music – ‘Heart of Courage’ was an inspired pick by Peter and he played it throughout our three days in the Twickenham changing room to set the mood.
