Charles was Sardo Numpsa in Golden child
"Initially, The Golden Child was a very interesting script with a lot of weird resonances," Dance recalls, "but Paramount basically chickened out. When they first screened it, it was a very different sort of film for Eddie Murphy. Paramount took too much notice of the preview audience's unease about the unfamiliarity of Eddie's character. They had gotten to know him so well through Beverly Hills Cop that they wanted the character to be much more like that. So the studio went back and reshot a lot of footage of Eddie doing 'Eddie Murphy-isms,' and put them into the picture. Then they took out a really sumptuous, weird and beautiful score by John Williams, and replaced it with something more funky. So basically what you got was Beverly Hills Cop in Tibet."
In the Golden child, Dance plays the devilish Sardo Numpsa " it was high-camp villainy, not a great intellectual exercise" he said " my job was to bring some semblance of reality to a thing that is essentially fantastical, that is, one can never forget, a vehicle for Murphy"
Dance enjoyed working with the comic superstar but admitted to feeling "a little defensive, a little guarded"...Eddie's aware ge's not an actor, although he underrates himself Dance said . "He comes from the world of standing up, rapping, selling Eddie Murphy . So there is quite a bit of diffeence between him and me"

Charles is Anthony Bowles in Pasquali's islands in 1988
Pascali's Island is a 1988 film with Ben Kingsley and Helen Mirren, based on a book by Barry Unsworth. It was presented at the Cannes festival film in 1988.The film was largely shot on the Greek island of Symi in the late summer of 1987.
In the Greece of 1908, a part British and part Cypriot man, Pascali, a spy for the Sultan, sends reports to Istanbul that nobody reads. His suspicions are aroused when a British archeologist appears, who may not be quite what he seems, and the same goes for the other people who come to the island.
