If you’re a big Game of Thrones fan, you must have been thrilled when Charles Dance, who plays Tywin Lannister, signed on to be in Admiral.

Of course. He was on my list, and I was like “I don’t know if we will succeed but let’s give it a try.” When he read the script and he said yes I was so excited because he’s such an iconic figure in that series. But he’s also a very iconic actor. He’s the villain in our movie and every time you see him, it’s so cool because he’s so powerful. It works so nicely. So I was really proud that he was part of this movie.

from an interview with Nikolaj-Coster Waldau

Which death affected the cast and crew the most, in terms of someone leaving the show?

The Red Wedding, when Michelle Fairley, Richard Madden and Oona Chaplin died, was tough because we’d all worked together for years. I was really sad when Tywin Lannister was killed last year because Charles Dance is a great guy and played such a great character.

"Playing the role of 'dearly departed' at this premiere it's the Late Tywin Lannister, played by Charles Dance. (I'd mention it as a spoile, but come on... you're not uptodate on Game of Thrones? SHAME ON YOU!)"

about Dinklage

****Departing star Dance, whose Tywin Lannister character joined the list of central figures ditched the confines of history at the end of season four, said it was a “suitably ignominious end” for Tywin, and claimed he’ll miss working with Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) most. “I’m still in touch with Peter, he is the most wonderful, sweet guy,” Dance said. “And what a monumental talent he is.”

***Speakeasy asked the actors who they personally wished they could resurrect and inject back into the show — and whom their characters would bring back.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime Lannister: Tywin Lannister. Charles Dance is just a brilliant person. A great actor. And also I think Jamie, the character? It was his dad. He didn’t want him to die.

Liam Cunningham, who plays Davos Seaworth: You know what, I really liked Joffrey. He was the man that everybody loved to hate. Everybody cheered when he died, but then five minutes later, they went, who are we going to hate now? So he was a fantastic character. He’s kind of missed. And Charles Dance, I loved watching him working, and I just loved that whole, him being the patriarch of the Lannisters and causing trouble and all that. He was a joy, a complete joy.

***Our Prime Minister, David Cameron, said earlier this week that he was a fan of Game of Thrones. Which is great, because, well, it's nice to have one or two things in common with the man running the country. When asked which character he most identifies with, he responded with hesitation: ‘That is an impossible question to answer. I thought Ned Stark was great, I love Sean Bean, I was a big fan of Sharpe.’

So when we got to the world premiere of Game of Thrones, we asked Charles Dance, who plays Tywin Lannister in the show, whether he thinks Cameron would make a good Lannister.

His response? ‘I don’t think he’s brave enough to be a Lannister, darling.’

Dance added that it would be tough to say which character he most related to in real life.

"That is an impossible question to answer," he said. "I thought Ned Stark was great, I love Sean Bean, I was a big fan of Sharpe."

That’s pretty damning, especially when you consider Joffrey Baratheon is technically a Lannister…

Have you chatted with Terry about the character?

He’s a fascinating guy who has this extraordinary imagination. He created this world which is quite Dickensian and he writes in a Dickensian way. He has rich characters with onomatopoeic names – names like Moist Lipwig are amazing – and this world he’s created that’s kind of pseudo-Edwardian/Victorian is a weird nowhere place. My god he’s prolific, and it’s terribly sad he’s now afflicted with Alzheimer’s. He’s still up and buzzy. I expected him to be about 6ft 3ins for some strange reason, then this little guy comes in with his black hat, his black shirt and his big beard – he’s like one of the characters out of Discworld himself, really. But in terms of chatting about the character, the books are very clear, the script is a really good adaptation, so there aren’t many questions to ask. It’s all there on the page.

 

It must be nice having an author on set who isn’t interfering in the filmmaking process?

Yes, but most authors don’t interfere. The interfering they do is usually during the adaptation stage if they’re not doing the adaptation themselves, which they rarely do. I did wonder why Terry’s work hasn’t made it to the screen before now, and the big screen especially, and it’s principally to do with him. I believe one of the film studios optioned one of his books and his opinion of the script was it was s**t so it never made it off the page. That’s quite brave of him; he could be making a fortune. God knows how many books he’s written, I’ve lost count now, but prolific is the word.
