The Surprising Family History Of Game Of Thrones' Charles Dance | FULL EPISODE | #WDYTYA
Actor Charles Dance has made his name playing aristocrats, including Tywin Lannister in HBO’s Game of Thrones. But the upstairs world Charles inhabits on screen is nothing like his own background as his mum was an under house parlour maid. Charles wants to know if he comes from a long line of servants or if he can uncover some grander…

At 44:07 the name right below his father’s name is John D’Arcy it would be a cool coincidence if he was related to Emma D’Arcy from house of the dragon
i watched this to hear Charles Dance's voice. i was not dissappointed
He was always one of my favorite characters on GoT. this was an amazing story
This made me so happy and teary eyed. I think everyone should get a chance to find out their family tree like this.
Charles Dance can read the entire user manual for a ceiling fan and I’ll happily listen to the whole thing.
Still can’t believe this is the same guy from The Golden Child with Eddie Murphy!!
After ned was gone this man held the show together.
This brought me to tears. Very happy that he found more info on his father. ❤
Truly an odyssey. Held me entranced from the beginning. Beautifully constructed, profoundly compelling narrative. Immersive to the point of bringing tears to my eyes. So glad this came up in my feed. Highly recommend. Worth every second.
I cried when he found out what happened to his sister.😭😭
I would love to go to his and hear him talk about his career. He’s a terrific actor.
Charles Dance: "I have two children….and one lecherous little stump."
Beautiful! What a history! Very fascinating!
How fitting that someone who went on to portray a Lannister, had a decent ancestor in real life with the last name Gold.
This man is not only a great actor, he’s also a great person.
My all time favorite English actor. Love him!
OMG!I just connected the dots!
Charles Dance is my cousin on my dad's father's mother side-her name was Caroline Dance
The way he smirks at the camera when she mentions Futvoye was a teacher for "reasonably wealthy people". 🤣
Actors that play nothing but mean characters always turn out to be the best, most down to earth people. Charles, ian, christopher
Charles Dance could be having a conversation with the paint drying on the wall and I'd be captivated. 3x granny was his spitting image, very cool.
'There's nothing aristocratic about me at all'. This guy does not have an accurate image of himself. He naturally has all the good qualities of an aristocrat, I just wish he wouldn't talk so formally all the time.
Look, the man has no poster of last action hero. What am i supposed to do with that.
The historian bringing out the 4x great grandmother's portrait after the 4x great grandfather was poetic.
Your father’s name was Tytos.
We are a product of all our generations. Knowing our own history helps us to better understand ourselves and society.
That would be so weird to find out your dad was 25 years older than you thought he was. And the whole affair/secret 7 kids is a trip!
What an utterly fascinating story. These stories typically are, but this one is as fascinating as some of my other favorites: Sir Ian McKellan and Sir Patrick Stewart.
I want to read that book, I really hope they do something with his sisters Autobiography
He is one of my favorite actors.
I almost feel like the camera shouldnt be here for this conversation
This is amazing! What a gift DNA is in our modern world!!
So cool! Bless Nora for writing her memoirs! A handsome bunch❤
each time he choked up, I recognized that feeling it is an odd form of grief when one experiences details about someone who has gone before without the ability to look them in the eye, knowing, but not knowing it’s adding to the family simultaneous with losing a family member it’s very hard to define. as I have done my own paternal and maternal histories, I have experienced this frequently, but never so much as when you lay your hand upon something that they laid their hand upon like Nora’s diary
Charles Dance and Ralph Fiennes. Oh the feelings they awakened in me when I was young. Pleasant thoughts. (Might as well add Jeremy Irons to that list, too)
Wow what a moving story. Glad he got to know his dad. My brother just found out we are 1/2 siblings and apparently his dad lives about an hour and a half south of me. He wrote to him hopefully they can meet soon.
Having a baby at 67-70 is crazy 😭 first kid was born 50 years earlier wow
Booth/Gold. Boy am I confused. 🤔😁
Very interesting story.
Charles is so handsome ❤️😍
Mr Dance is so handsome, love him in his many roles!
You look like your dadtoo
Dance I think you look like your 3 x great grandma and your brother looks like your 3x great grandpa
Bros is intimidating
I wish someone will post more about the Futvoye family in Belgium. According to the internet, Spa back in those days was a luxury social hub for the extremely wealthy and powerful families, but there is no records anywhere on the internet besides the ones from WDYTYA.
