From an article in The Telegraph

 
"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 autumnDance 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.
Ewan Paterson is executive creative director and Founder BBH Sport.

Charles narrator of ‘A Wild Mongolian Moose Chase’

by Merrilyn Boorman....mother of
"A Mongolian moose is not an animal you would typically associate with Kent, with badgers, voles and hedgehogs usually stealing the limelight.
However, the rare sub-species, known as the Manchurian moose, took a starring role in a new film by Lenham resident Merrilyn Boorman.
The 71-year-old amateur naturalist will hold the first screening of ‘A Wild Mongolian Moose Chase’ in support of Kent Wildlife Trust next Wednesday.
Narrated by actor, Charles Dance, it tells the story of Mrs Boorman coming face to face with the elusive species."
....
Tickets to the screening of the film....are available for £10 each, with all profits going to the trust.
The premier takes place at the 300-seat Gulbenkian Cinema, University of Kent, Canterbury, on Wednesday, September 17 at 7.30pm.
