2°)from an interview with Mark Hartley about Patrick
To tell you the truth, Gary the cinematographer and I had about eight months where this film was in limbo, waiting for cast, and so we shot listed this film within an inch of its life. We turned up on set and knew every shot that had to be done. It was important to do this to get it all done in the very limited time - we shot it in 25 days and we only had Charles [Dance] and Rachel [Griffiths] for 10 days each....

We shot the film at the height of the Australian summer with bright blue skies and to make it look like winter was quite an undertaking. Poor Charles [Dance] was there in these massive woollen suits. It was a hard shoot.

On Got (se4) set and a little mention...
"Versions of this piece were published in TV Week and Foxtel’s magazine in April 2014."

"I’m visiting in mid-October, halfway through the production of the fourth series.......
Many will have to adapt to survive, but not Tywin Lannister. If anything, the great puppet master will harden his position as the most ruthless man in Westeros. The prospect amuses Charles Dance.
“I can’t help but laugh at Tywin, he’s enormous fun,” says Dance with a chuckle that is as foreign as Kit Harington’s cigarette. “There is the usual number of challenges for him [this year] and he rises to them in his own inimitable way. You’re in for a treat with season four.”
Unlike the less experienced cast members, the 67-year-old hasn’t looked at the original texts, preferring instead to trust the scripts sent to him each year. “With each successive season I look at what David and Dan are writing and say ‘My God, really?’ Tywin is pretty bloody awful. There was a time when I thought he had some redeeming features but now I think they’re only very superficial ones. He probably feels the cold from time to time, but that’s about it.”
When Dance speaks, I see the levels on my Dictaphone jump, his sonorous voice rippling up the walls and around the ceiling like a creeping fire. He speaks with the same theatrical cadence as Tywin, with a slight irritation and a hint that if I were to ask a particularly stupid question he would have a henchman disembowel me while he examined his nails.
In a universe of make-believe, Tywin’s Machiavellian wickedness is utterly convincing, but a lot of what Dance says is actually rather lovely. He’s never worked on anything so large and elaborate, nor did he think it would be possible for TV to be regarded as equal or even superior to film. He is effusive about Belfast and speaks fondly of his fellow cast, reserving special praise for Maisie Williams (Arya Stark, “It was like working with someone who’d been doing the job for 30 years”) Jack Gleeson (the despicable Joffrey Lannister, “He’s the sweetest guy”) and Peter Dinklage, his on-screen son, Tyrion: “I’m so fond of him, he’s a terrific guy, wonderful to work with, a fantastic actor. I love him dearly and I just have to apologise after every scene – I treat him like shit. It’s awful.”
When it’s time to wrap things up I want to tell this embodiment of evil that he’s nowhere near as scary in real life as I always feared. When I saw Last Action Hero as a ten-year-old, Dance’s bombastic baddie Benedict had scared the crap out of me. Few of his roles in the intervening 20 years – especially Tywin – have done much to ease my suspicions that he is, on some level, a real villain. I stumble over my words trying to explain this to him, but he interrupts with a hearty handshake: “Bugger off you silly sod – I’m an actor.”.....(aboutactorcharlesdanceblogspot.fr)

2°)from an interview with actor Laurence Boxhall
The 17-year-old plays an underage soldier in the Foxtel mini-series, which completed filming in SA last week, and says there were times he had to pinch himself on set.
“One year out of school and going on set and having lunch and there’s Charles Dance eating a baguette in the corner...that’s a surreal moment,” he laughs

Charles about Sir Nigel Hawthorne in 2002...
STARS of stage and screen bade farewell to actor Sir Nigel Hawthorne at his funeral in a village church yesterday. Author Frederick Forsyth and actors Derek Fowlds and Charles Dance were among the celebrities who gathered to pay tribute to Sir Nigel, renowned for his roles in the BBC TV comedy Yes, Minister, and the film and theatre versions of The Madness of King George. Loretta Swit, who played in the TV series MASH, and actress Maureen Lipman also attended the service in St Mary's Church in Thundridge, Hertfordshire. The funeral for Sir Nigel, who died of a heart attack on Boxing Day at the age of 72..."......

Charles Dance
writes: My dear friend, confidant, and sometime mentor, Nigel
Hawthorne, has finally lost his long battle against a particularly virulent
cancer. But
boy, did he fight!
I
last spoke to him in November before leaving for Australia to play a part in a
film that was to have been played by him. It was the third time in the last six
months that I have stood in for him. Many times during the course of his
illness he continued to work. No one, save for Trevor and one or two of his
closest friends, were ever aware of the pain he was suffering. However, there
were occasions when he simply had to say: "No, sorry, I'm not
available" - but never: "No, I'm far too ill." Though that was
the truth.
I
first met him in 1980, when we played opposite each other in a production of
The Heiress, Ruth and Augustus Goetz's play based on Henry James's novel,
Washington Square. Nigel's Austin Sloper was one of those typical, understated
"layers deep" performances that sadly it took so many directors far
too long to realise was the hallmark of all his work.
He was a wonderfully gifted
actor, with a range that encompassed so much more than he was given the
opportunity to show. Thanks to the integrity of Alan Bennett and Nicholas
Hytner, he was able to demonstrate a mere, but substantial, fragment of that
range as George III, for which he was rightly nominated for an Academy Award.
The value of his friendship
and generosity to me and many others was incalculable. All who had the good
fortune to know and love him will miss him greatly.
