Here to play British commander-in-chief Sir Ian Hamilton in Deadline Gallipoli the famous British actor is unfazed by the success of the television series in which he died a sweetly vengeful death at the hands of his wrongly accused dwarf son.
“It comes in waves,” he says in his rich baritone voice. “In 1982 I did something called The Jewel in the Crown which was pretty successful, and that was a break for me. You have peaks and shallows and this is a peak, most definitely. It’s become a global phenomenon and I’m very glad to be part of it.”
In the Foxtel miniseries about Gallipoli war correspondents filming this week at Adelaide Studios, Dance will play the flawed British commander who proved ill-suited for a debilitating campaign on foreign soil.
In the series co-produced by nad starring Sam Worthington — Dance plays the general blamed for the massive loss of life on the Turkish peninsula.
“I’m playing the schmuck who carried the can for it,” says Dance.
He will be in Adelaide until mid-July and remembers the city from a visit more than a decade ago when he starred in the South Australian produced Black and White, a film about the trial of a young Aboriginal man accused of murder, Maxwell Stuart.
“It was about four or five weeks and we were living down at Glenelg,” he says. “I was brought up by the sea in England, in the south-west of Devon. The sea is very important to me.”

"Charles Dance as King enjoys
A large throne, chandeliers and candlesticks, dozens of extras with beautiful costumes, the ancient Abbey of Middelburg is as alive again. For the recording of historical adventure film Michiel de Ruyter, the complex is transformed into the court of King Charles II. The British king is played by Charles Dance. Between takes he sits outside in the evening sun. "The location is fantastic."
1°)Retrospective release date : 14 July
2°) from an interview with Lena Headey
The finale was huge for your character. We see her finally confess to Tywin that she’s in love with her brother, Jaime, and that his legacy is screwed.I’ve known Charles [Dance] for a long, long time, and he’s pretty formidable. He’s a pussycat off-screen, but he’s ferocious as Tywin. There’s always that strange feeling when you know someone and you’ve spent a lot of time together, and a part of you is thinking, “Shit, this is it. It’s the last time I’m going to get to look in your eyes and do what we do.” It’s kind of weird. But I love that Cersei has that moment of, “Oh, fuck it. My kid’s fucking dead and you’re a shit, so I’m going to tell you how it is.”

4°)National Post___ June 19, 2014
This past Sunday was not a happy father’s day for Tywin Lannister. Soon after discovering his royal legacy was an incestuous sham, the patriarch of Westeros’ debt-paying family was literally caught with his pants down and killed by his condemned son as he sat upon a lesser iron throne. According to seasoned British actor Charles Dance, who played the Machiavellian Lannister, his character had it coming. “He behaves so appallingly that you can’t help but laugh at it,” Dance snickered during a recent interview on Game of Thrones’ Belfast set. “There’s nothing much to admire about him but he’s a great character to play.” Below the 67-year-old Officer of the British Empire talks to National Post’s Jonathan Dekel about the pleasures of acting villainous and repeatedly apologizing to Peter Dinklage.
Q Game of Thrones is a show dominated by amoral sociopaths but Tywin Lannister managed to be be the most cunning and ruthless of them all. Do you think he saw himself as a bad man?
A I don’t think he views himself as a villain. Although this world we inhabit is a mythical world, it’s based on some reality. It’s feudal and medieval, and if you’re in a position of power in a feudal society you do everything you can to maintain that position. If that means chopping somebody’s head off then you do it. He’s convinced of his rightness and he believes in the supremacy of the Lannisters. That’s where he comes from basically — he thinks in terms of honour but it’s not the type of honour you and I would recognize.
If you think of how life was in medieval England it’s not that dissimilar. People have talked about life in the Seven Kingdoms being not unlike the War of the Roses. That’s true.
Q Did you base your portrayal on any historical characters?
A No. I based the character on the script. [Showrunners] David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss] are understandably quite precious about their scripts because they write really, really well. A lot of the time as actors we’re working on something that is not quite as good and we have to expend a lot of energy trying to make a silk purse out of a pig’s ear. With this we don’t have to do that.
Q Watching your scenes opposite Peter Dinklage was like viewing an acting masterclass.
A It’s a pity the person that I treat so appallingly most of the time I’m so very fond of. He’s a terrific guy, he’s wonderful to work with. He’s a fantastic actor. I love him dearly. I had to apologize after every scene that we’d play. I’d say, “I’m so sorry Peter,” because I treat him like sh-t.
Q How much freedom did you have to develop those scenes?
A Even though we’re being quite accurate with the lines there’s a dozen ways that you can say a line and with each successive take I think both of us try to fine tune it a bit. It’s a bit like playing ball: you throw the ball to somebody and they catch it and throw it back, they don’t drop it. That’s what working with Peter is like. It’s an absolute joy. I’m so fond of him.
Q The reaction videos to The Red Wedding episode were extraordinary. As you were not in the episode I imagine you experienced it like the rest of us. Can you recall your reaction?
A I was in shock. I mean, Christ almighty, it was amazing. And it was all my fault!
Q Fans have reportedly been quite mean to Jack Gleeson (Joffrey Lannister) when they meet him in real life. Have you had any similar experiences?
A No, no grief from fans. More shock. I enjoy dressing down Joffrey. But if you’ve met Jack you’ll know he’s nothing like Joffrey. He’s heavily involved in studying ancient Hebrew.

Charles Dance : GOT Cast on Tywin Lannister's Best Moments
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E9PA12fvQM
Lena Headey
"
Luckily for us, Charles Dance is still with us, hale and hearty. He is a lovely human being, an absolute pleasure to work with and spend time with. We hope to do a great deal of both in the future".
"To see Tyrion’s entire, troubled relationship with his father distilled into three minutes, that’s a lot of weight to put on two actors. It was our good fortune that the two actors in question were Peter and Charles, who are both power-lifters in this category."
Benioff and Weiss
“[Tywin is] a hypocrite as well, I’m afraid,” Dance sighed. “He’s a ‘do what I say, not what I do."
“As far as Tywin is concerned, [Tyrion] is the one area he’s failed in because in 15th, 16th century in Europe, any imperfection — whether it’s dwarfism, blindness, a child born unperfected — ideally, you smother them, get rid of them, put them in a bucket or anything,” said the actor. “He let Tyrion live, to his astonishment, and Tyrion is the brightest of his three children, the wittiest, and the cleverest. Those are the qualities that he would admire if he weren’t a dwarf, but the fact that he’s a dwarf is a continual reminder of his failure. So as long as he’s alive he’s going to treat him like sh– –it’s horrible.”
“I’m not one of these actors that tries to find the good in a character,” Dance added. “If a character is a sh–, he’s a sh–, and you play him full on as a sh– – don’t try and make him nice, you play him full on.”
As for his absence next season, Dance had one hope for his character: “I just hope I get a state funeral afterwards as well. They should start season 5 with a great f–k-off funeral for Tywin.”

Reactions about Tywin death :
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau :
Tywin is undoubtedly a big deal to the continuing drama...“For me, it’s just a huge loss because… he’s been such a formidable presence, both as the character, Tywin Lannister, whose just such an amazing character, and then, of course, what Charles brings ever since he had his first scene, I think, in Episode 7 of Season 1.... “He has really anchored the power of the Lannisters, so it is a huge loss for the show, but also, it clearly changes the whole dynamic in this world.
“Up until the last [episode], the Lannisters have definitely been the most powerful, and with him gone, and all the other stuff that happens in Episode 10, who knows what’s going to happen next. But I’m going to miss Charles for sure, ‘cause I just think that, you know, you don’t get any finer actors than him.”
“He was just amazing to work with. Also… without any lines, you got a feeling that clearly, this was something Tywin had planned. He was expecting Jaime to just show up,” Nikolaj told Access of the Tywin/Jaime moment earlier in Season 4. “But also, just what I loved, in all the seasons, is that even though he’s such a stern and hard man, I still got the feeling that… as much as he disliked his other son, he had hopes and… he at least wanted Jaime to do well, to kind of step up in his world, to take on his mantle. So there was some kind of love there in a very weird way.”
“He’s a lot of fun. He has a very, very dry sense of humor, but he’s a lot of fun,”... “He just has an exquisite sense of humor.”
Sophie Turner
“That was sad because Charles is such a valued cast member and he’s a really funny, great guy,”
“I haven’t had that many scenes with Charles, but he’s really funny,” she added. “I remember the first time I met him, and you’re like, ‘Oh my God, it’s Charles Dance.’ And he walks in the room and he’s like, ‘Hi, I’m Charlie. Nice to meet you,’” ....“He’s really, really nice.”
Gwendoline Christie
"...the exits of Sibel Kekilli's Shae and Charles’ Tywin, are just a reminder that no one is safe in “Game of Thrones".....and Charles is another icon and I am so sorry to be saying goodbye to those two, but it’s just all part of the wonderful world of ‘Game of Thrones,’” Gwendoline said. “Don’t’ get too close to anyone.”

Charles Dance will be Hamilton, the Commander of the Gallipoli campaign
"The four-hour TV miniseries co-produced by Worthington, tells the story of the Gallipoli campaign through the eyes of Australian war correspondents Charles Bean (Joel Jackson) and Keith Murdoch (Ewen Leslie), photographer Philip Schuler (Sam Worthington) and Britain’s Ellis Ashmead Bartlett (Hugh Dancy). Charles Dance arrives next week to play the British General Sir Ian Hamilton who heads the British command at Gallipoli. Worthington is not expected in Adelaide until the following week."
the pitch : "Three journalists, Charles Bean, Ellis Ashmead Bartlett and Phillip Schuler, arrive at Gallipoli with the ANZACS in 1915. They will report the war but are prevented from getting out the true story of an unfolding disaster. From encampment in Cairo to Anzac Cove to the evacuation, this is the story of journalists who will not accept that truth be the first casualty. This is the story of the men who will not shut up."
Deadline Gallipoli will air on Foxtel’s channel in 2015 to coincide with the World War I Centenary commemorations

AVC: "History produces grammar"—fascinating. You’re really looking at the details. You’re making these extrapolations. You’re making your theories, and you have to do that in order to create these languages. In some ways, even though you weren’t a fan of this before, you are now the fan of this show.
DP: Yeah. If you look at everything that occurs on this show almost as a prop, language is different from any other prop. When you meet an actor like Charles Dance, he’s not Tywin Lannister. He’s his own man. He’s a different dude. What he needs to do is he needs to be Tywin Lannister for every moment that he’s on the screen.

and a new trailer of the game : The witcher 3 : Wild hunt...Charles voice as the Emperor of Nilfgaard
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtVdAasjOgU
about the Witcher 3 remember why they cast Charles :
1°)"Charles Dance is the perfect candidate to play the mighty Nilfgaardian emperor in our upcoming title. It’s a dream come true for the team here at RED to be able to work with such an accomplished actor and magnetic personality," said Marcin Blacha, Lead Writer for the title.
http://aboutactorcharlesdance.blogspot.fr/2013/08/charles-to-voice-in-video-game.html
2°)Peter Gelencser , designer about The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Could you talk a little about Charles Dance?
[laughs] Yeah, I’m still collecting my jaws from the floor. Because I learned that just like you did. I think I stumbled upon it on some of my colleagues’ Facebook posts, saying we have Charles Dunce. And I’m thinking ‘why’s that familiar?’ … Okay, okay, Game of Thrones and all that. [laughs]
His character in the game isn’t exactly similar to Tywin Lannister.
The actor has a rich voice, vocal character, per se. That’s an inspiration for us and the character is going to be an inspiration for him. And the amalgamation of these two is going to result in something unique yet familiar. We have chosen him for a reason. Personal opinion, of course.
http://aboutactorcharlesdance.blogspot.fr/2013/09/about-charles-and-witcherthe-video-game.html
producer of the game, Mikołaj Szwed
9 – Charles Dance will be the Nilfgaardian emperor in the game. How did that come about? What traits did he bring to the game that another actor may not have been able to? Are there many Game of Thrones fans on the team?
When we were doing research on potential candidates to voice Emhyr var Emreis, Mr. Dance was always someone who came to mind. Each group of people that was consulted on the matter somehow ended up saying that we should try to reach out to him. So… we did. And he agreed to lend us his voice. As for the specific traits of his voice, what I personally like is its commanding tone. You hear a sentence and you immediately treat it as an order. This and the beautiful accent make him a splendid Emhyr! As for Game of Thrones, it’s a great show and it has a lot of fans in the studio.

"Michiel de Ruyter (1607-1676) was one of the largest and passionate innovators in combat engineering and therefore he became a naval hero in Holland. As the deeply torn Netherlands is attacked from all sides and on the verge of civil war, one man tries to fight for the interests of the country: Michiel de Ruyter. But in the eyes of those in power, his successes make him too popular and Michiel was sent on a deadly mission"
