Charles dance given OBE in June 2006, Birthday Honours List
Having checked the honours lists for 2006, no actors were knighted that year. However, Charles Dance was awarded an OBE in 2006.
The only knighthood offered for drama in the 2006 honours list was to Sir Arnold Wesker, a playwright, unconnected with the RSC.
