Charles Dance is celebrating his 78th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-screenwriter-director Charles Dance (Underworld: Awakening, Alien 3, Game of Thrones, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 78th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Dance, a cultural icon

Born Walter Charles Dance in Redditch on October 10, 1946, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in English history. Dance's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Charles hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Charles Dance as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 78.

Happy Birthday, Charles, you're the best!
