November 1st, 2007 will live on as a great day for HughDancy.info. It isn’t often that a regular fan site gets an exclusive interview with the person to whom their site is dedicated.

For a little over a half hour, we spanned everything from his career in movies, theatre, and television, to all the little bits in between.

The 32-year-old British actor is all over the silver screen with a flurry of releases, including “The Jane Austen Book Club” this month. Dancy landed on Broadway to star in the World War I drama “Journey’s End” this year and is spotted frequently about town with girlfriend Claire Danes.
