Charles is shooting Deadline Gallipoli in Adelaide
HE died an ignominious death as Tywin Lannister in a recent episode of Foxtel’s most popular network series, Game of Thrones, but actor Charles Dance has surfaced in Adelaide, ready to wage a different kind of battle.
Here to play British commander-in-chief Sir Ian Hamilton in Deadline Gallipoli the famous British actor is unfazed by the success of the television series in which he died a sweetly vengeful death at the hands of his wrongly accused dwarf son.
“It comes in waves,” he says in his rich baritone voice. “In 1982 I did something called The Jewel in the Crown which was pretty successful, and that was a break for me. You have peaks and shallows and this is a peak, most definitely. It’s become a global phenomenon and I’m very glad to be part of it.”
In the Foxtel miniseries about Gallipoli war correspondents filming this week at Adelaide Studios, Dance will play the flawed British commander who proved ill-suited for a debilitating campaign on foreign soil.
In the series co-produced by nad starring Sam Worthington — Dance plays the general blamed for the massive loss of life on the Turkish peninsula.
“I’m playing the schmuck who carried the can for it,” says Dance.
He will be in Adelaide until mid-July and remembers the city from a visit more than a decade ago when he starred in the South Australian produced Black and White, a film about the trial of a young Aboriginal man accused of murder, Maxwell Stuart.
“It was about four or five weeks and we were living down at Glenelg,” he says. “I was brought up by the sea in England, in the south-west of Devon. The sea is very important to me.”

"These exclusive stills from the new issue of Empire (on sale June 26) show Cumberbatch as Alan Turing, a mathematician who turned wartime code-breaker and brought his skills to bear cracking the German Enigma code. Alongside him (left) is Charles Dance as Commander Alastair Denniston, a fellow decrypter, who helped Turing spearhead Britain’s efforts to break the Nazi code. Lurking, fittingly, in the shadows is Mark Strong who plays legendary MI6/SIS head Stewart Menzies"

"Charles Dance as King enjoys
A large throne, chandeliers and candlesticks, dozens of extras with beautiful costumes, the ancient Abbey of Middelburg is as alive again. For the recording of historical adventure film Michiel de Ruyter, the complex is transformed into the court of King Charles II. The British king is played by Charles Dance. Between takes he sits outside in the evening sun. "The location is fantastic."

Between takes he sits outside in the evening sun. "The location is fantastic."
It's a busy day on the set. In a suit and a wig with long curls on the terrace of the abbey he talks about his first impressions: "I had a little time to look around, but I've realized that the place is amazing. I have only once been to the Netherlands in Amsterdam in 1976"
Despite the fact that he arrived at the shooting recently, Dance already feels in his element. The actor explained that in this he was particularly helped director Roel Reine.
"There are directors dictators who give strict orders, I talked with them a bit. Roel is not. He gives you to understand that you are making a contribution to the filming process, encourages improvisation where possible and open to suggestions. I have very good experience. "
Dance basically tells about how effectively they are working on the set: "We have time to do a lot in a short time, and everything goes smoothly. Roel is gorgeous, it acts as a director and as an operator and with all handles flawlessly. And he is well versed technically. "
During his more than forty-year career in the movies Dance participated in various film projects. A recent example - the series "Game of Thrones." On the background of the film's budget, "Michael de Ruyter" seems to be quite small.
"The main difference I noticed is that fewer and fewer people who shoot a lot of work. This is typical of European cinema. "Game of Thrones" a global phenomenon, made with high financial costs. And not for nothing that you can see on the screen. There everything was built like a military operation. In this film, the budget, of course, a lot less, but the project is quite ambitious. Take a look at this place. In "Game of Thrones is completely built from scratch, but here it's different.

2°) from an interview with Lena Headey
The finale was huge for your character. We see her finally confess to Tywin that she’s in love with her brother, Jaime, and that his legacy is screwed.I’ve known Charles [Dance] for a long, long time, and he’s pretty formidable. He’s a pussycat off-screen, but he’s ferocious as Tywin. There’s always that strange feeling when you know someone and you’ve spent a lot of time together, and a part of you is thinking, “Shit, this is it. It’s the last time I’m going to get to look in your eyes and do what we do.” It’s kind of weird. But I love that Cersei has that moment of, “Oh, fuck it. My kid’s fucking dead and you’re a shit, so I’m going to tell you how it is.”

4°)National Post_June 19, 2014
This past Sunday was not a happy father’s day for Tywin Lannister. Soon after discovering his royal legacy was an incestuous sham, the patriarch of Westeros’ debt-paying family was literally caught with his pants down and killed by his condemned son as he sat upon a lesser iron throne. According to seasoned British actor Charles Dance, who played the Machiavellian Lannister, his character had it coming. “He behaves so appallingly that you can’t help but laugh at it,” Dance snickered during a recent interview on Game of Thrones’ Belfast set. “There’s nothing much to admire about him but he’s a great character to play.” Below the 67-year-old Officer of the British Empire talks to National Post’s Jonathan Dekel about the pleasures of acting villainous and repeatedly apologizing to Peter Dinklage.
Q Game of Thrones is a show dominated by amoral sociopaths but Tywin Lannister managed to be be the most cunning and ruthless of them all. Do you think he saw himself as a bad man?
A I don’t think he views himself as a villain. Although this world we inhabit is a mythical world, it’s based on some reality. It’s feudal and medieval, and if you’re in a position of power in a feudal society you do everything you can to maintain that position. If that means chopping somebody’s head off then you do it. He’s convinced of his rightness and he believes in the supremacy of the Lannisters. That’s where he comes from basically — he thinks in terms of honour but it’s not the type of honour you and I would recognize.
If you think of how life was in medieval England it’s not that dissimilar. People have talked about life in the Seven Kingdoms being not unlike the War of the Roses. That’s true.
Q Did you base your portrayal on any historical characters?
A No. I based the character on the script. [Showrunners] David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss] are understandably quite precious about their scripts because they write really, really well. A lot of the time as actors we’re working on something that is not quite as good and we have to expend a lot of energy trying to make a silk purse out of a pig’s ear. With this we don’t have to do that.
Q Watching your scenes opposite Peter Dinklage was like viewing an acting masterclass.
A It’s a pity the person that I treat so appallingly most of the time I’m so very fond of. He’s a terrific guy, he’s wonderful to work with. He’s a fantastic actor. I love him dearly. I had to apologize after every scene that we’d play. I’d say, “I’m so sorry Peter,” because I treat him like sh-t.
Q How much freedom did you have to develop those scenes?
A Even though we’re being quite accurate with the lines there’s a dozen ways that you can say a line and with each successive take I think both of us try to fine tune it a bit. It’s a bit like playing ball: you throw the ball to somebody and they catch it and throw it back, they don’t drop it. That’s what working with Peter is like. It’s an absolute joy. I’m so fond of him.
Q The reaction videos to The Red Wedding episode were extraordinary. As you were not in the episode I imagine you experienced it like the rest of us. Can you recall your reaction?
A I was in shock. I mean, Christ almighty, it was amazing. And it was all my fault!
Q Fans have reportedly been quite mean to Jack Gleeson (Joffrey Lannister) when they meet him in real life. Have you had any similar experiences?
A No, no grief from fans. More shock. I enjoy dressing down Joffrey. But if you’ve met Jack you’ll know he’s nothing like Joffrey. He’s heavily involved in studying ancient Hebrew.
