Charles was at the GoT se4 New-York premiere

The evening started with an amusing recording by actor Charles Dance, who plays Tywin Lannister, asking everyone to turn off their mobile devices, because "anyone who does interrupt the proceedings will be executed." Mr. Dance also announced that the screening would begin as soon as a few "lowborn grubs finish their tedious speeches.

Some of the guests included director Joel Coen with his Oscar winning wife Frances McDormand, and son Pedro; double Oscar winner Sally Field accompanied actor Charles Dance, plus Oscar nominated writer director Terry George ("Hotel Rwanda") was there along with many members of the huge cast including Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage, a tattooed Lena Headey, and British superstar veteran actress Diana Rigg, etc...

interview from CBS news :

"The Red Wedding came as a great shock to me, actually," Charles told Access Hollywood at the show’s Season 4 premiere at NYC’s Lincoln Center on Tuesday night, when we asked which moment on the show he found the most shocking.
"It’s not an episode I was personally involved in — although I kind of ordered it all," he continued. "And when I eventually saw it, I mean I kind of fell back on my sofa — reeling!"
"And people I bumped into in the street the following day, they were all in a state of shock ‘cause the thing about this show is, when you least expect it, somebody gets their head chopped off or something," he laughed.

Actress Peta Sergeant(part in Patrick) about Charles

DC: So what was Charles Dance like, reality vs. expectation?
PS: Ah, he was amazing! He was fantastic. He's just so delightful. He was just everything you expect a fabulous English gentleman to be. He was absolutely delightful and charming and a bit naughty. He is just a very generous type of guy. I think that was the thing that took me most by surprise. You are just never sure if someone is going to hang out in their dressing room or what they are going to be like, and that’s all fair enough when people are working to be focused and stuff, and there is nothing wrong with that. He was just so much fun and extremely generous, myself and the other actors included, and yes, just a really cool guy to hang out with.

“PATRICK: EVIL AWAKENS” Set Visit, Part Two: The Veterans

Patrick: Evil Awakens’ is available today on VOD and starts in U.S. theaters
Dance has racked up a series of genre credits that should make him familiar to Fangorians and all other sorts of film enthusiasts. His more prominent roles include turns in ALIEN 3, LAST ACTION HERO and UNDERWORLD: AWAKENING, and he’s appeared in GAME OF THRONES, done shorts and lent his voice to this year’s video game THE WITCHER 3: THE WILD HUNT. He describes himself as “a working slut,” but has no prior knowledge of the original PATRICK—a situation he intends to maintain. “It would serve no purpose,” says the actor, whose own take on the ruthless Dr. Roget, owner of the clinic housing the comatose, telekinetic Patrick, seems rock-solid. “He’s misguided and driven by his quest for scientific glory, but not as clever as he thinks he is. He believes in the whole process of electroconvulsive therapy, and doesn’t believe in this telekinesis. He believes that the waking up of dormant neurons will let the brain repair itself.

“Running out of money is something else that drives him,” Dance continues. “He’s got to come up with something pretty special; otherwise, there isn’t going to be any more funding for his clinic. It’s all pretty much in the script, which impressed me. If it poses questions, I try to get answers to those questions, but it’s pretty clear who this guy is. I don’t need to know what school he went to or what his relationship with his mother was like. None of that is important at all.”

Indeed, Dance welcomes the presence of scripter Justin King on set, while acknowledging that it’s rare to have the writer around while filming. “One reason is that a lot of the time, writers are not treated with the respect they should be given. But there’s a great collaborative feel on this film, which is as it should be. Film is a collaborative art, when it rises to the heights of art. And that comes down from Mark [Hartley]; he creates an environment where people are encouraged to contribute. He knows exactly what he wants, but he’s amenable, and so is Justin. And that’s great, because we’re all trying to put something on the screen.”

Dance claims to be a serious fan of horror movies as long as they’re genuinely frightening, a category he has no problem placing PATRICK in. “Mark is a very clever guy. I’ve seen a little bit of an assemblage he did, and it puts the hairs on the back of your neck up. The set has a great Gothic atmosphere, and that helps get me in the mood for Dr. Roget.“

While Dance observes that Patrick spits in his presence, following the original film’s lead, he won’t go any further in describing Roget’s relationship with his dangerous patient, other than to say that frogs are involved. “Every film presents some kind of challenge. It’s a grave mistake to get blasé and complacent about this strange job we do. Whether we’re doing Chekov or something of this nature, we have to make it as believable as possible. Horror is a serious business, so you have to take it seriously. It’s not a challenge like going down a coal mine for 12 hours a day, or doing brain surgery; we’re pretending, but we hope we pretend with a degree of credibility.”
