About a 4th season of Got

Charles has accidentally let slip that there will be a fourth season of Game Of Thrones.
‘We’re about to start season four aren’t we? This year.
‘We get scripts pretty early on, much earlier on than in similar series, usually you get perhaps one episode and you just have to trust that what’s going to come in subsequent episodes is going to be as good as the one you’ve got, but in this I think there are six scripts already written, and we will probably be able to see them with more than adequate time to prepare before we start shooting.’

Dance: I'd love to do more comedy
03 March 2013
The 66-year-old actor is famous for starring in dramas such as The Jewel In The Crown and hit HBO drama Game Of Thrones and often plays villains.
But he admitted: "I would prefer comedy, but I don't often get asked to do it, so when the opportunity arises I grab it. Because in this business you are what you are seen to be, and if you're seen to be doing something reasonably well that's what you tend to get offered.
"I haven't done that much comedy, and I love it. It's a good feeling to make somebody laugh."

Charles recently played an ageing rocker in one-off comedy short Common Ground on Sky Atlantic, but revealed he hoped he could have his own spin-off sitcom.He said: "I hope there's a further life for that character, because this guy was an over-the-hill tired rock and roll tour manager. He had lots of tattoos and earrings and a balding man's ponytail and was growing rather exotic things in the wardrobe in his long suffering son-in-law's house and it was great fun."

Charles about Got



Charles Dance portrays the wealthy Lord Tywin Lannister in the show.
The veteran actor believes Game of Thrones looks as good as a film simply because nowadays there's little difference between the artforms.
"Ostensibly the job is the same," Dance says in London.
"Most television series are shot probably using the same digital cameras as we use in films now."
Dance says in TV, as with most things in life, "you get what you pay for" and HBO has been willing to stump up the cash.

I would have loved a part in Downton Abbey 

Suave star Charles Dance has said he would have loved a role in TV hit Downton Abbey but show bosses have never asked him.

The 66-year-old actor, who has previously worked with Downton creator Julian Fellowes in the Oscar-winning Gosford Park, revealed he would now be unwilling to accept a cameo role in the show.
Dance - who now appears in fantasy epic series Game Of Thrones - said he regarded Gosford, which also featured Dame Maggie Smith as a dowager countess, as one of the inspirations for the ITV drama series.
He said: "If I'd been asked to do it I probably would have done it, but I wasn't. I did Gosford Park, which was I think the germ from which Downton Abbey grew, and that was written by Julian.
"Of course, it's enjoying enormous success and it's got a big fanbase - if I was asked to do something in it now it would probably just be to guest in it, and now I wouldn't want to do that."
Dance, whose appearances have included a starring role in acclaimed drama The Jewel In The Crown, now appears as the villainous Lord Lannister in hit HBO drama Game Of Thrones.
He lamented what he felt was a lack of effort to produce quality drama on British television.
He said: "I have to be careful because I tend to get up on a soapbox a bit about this.
"But, especially, the BBC seems to be putting more time and energy into real estate at the moment and junk reality television and stuff.
"We are capable of doing it, we have a lot of very, very skilled people here, but you get what you pay for.
"I think if you make something of real quality people will buy it, and it has a life span, rather than reality television shows that comes and go really quickly."
