From an interview with Nikolaj Coster Waldau

...But I like Tywin as a character, mostly because Charles [Dance] is such a formidable presence. You kind of like him because he's so cold. He's the perfect royal, because everything is about the future. The present doesn't matter. It's all about the endgame. So I loved the scene where they're making the deal for Tyrion where Jaime realizes, "Oh, I just got played. This was my father's plan all along. He was willing to sacrifice my brother to get me to do what he wants." Wow. It's a fucked-up family, I'm sorry! [Laughs]

"Piccadilly Pictures, the UK financier that backed We Need to Talk About Kevin and Coriolanus, has unveiled a new development fund to sit alongside its $25m finance fund – and have already backed projects from BBC Films and Charles Dance.

Piccadilly’s Christopher Figg and Robert Whitehouse currently have a handful of projects benefitting from their SEIS-qualifying development fund and are looking to add more.

The first projects include a feature version of Alice Thomas Ellis’s novel The Inn at the Edge of the World, which is being co-executive produced by Charles Dance and is aiming for a late 2014 shoot..."

From a review in Telegraph

about The Laws of Gods and Men ep

It was tense, and it was masterful. As befits a show in which nice guys are generally patsies and/or dead, almost everyone leapt at the chance to stick it to Tyrion. Charles Dance, as Tywin, presided. Dance could never do anything but preside, really. I imagine that even while ordering a Zinger Tower at KFC he would still radiate majesty.

Dance's eyebrows alone, glued to a piece of A4, could stand for election. But his diction must also have something to do with it; there are few better than Dance when it comes to commanding peroration. As he told Jaime what his plans were for Tyrion I felt sorry for Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who is Danish and whose delivery sounds a little garbled compared to Dance’s crisp elocution and never-ending vowels.
