Facts...casting
0°)Dance’s role is pretty much solely just to spout exposition and explain the plot, but he totally looks the part, and was surely a much better choice for the role than Charlie Cox, who is 36 years his junior and originally filmed the scenes before being replaced with Dance.

1°)The character should have
been played by the English actor Charles Dance. In fact the biographer of Denys
Finch Hatton begged the director Sydney Pollock to cast Charles Dance as Denys
Finch Hatton.....aboutactorcharlesdance.blogspot.fr/
But it turned out that
Charles Dance had been cast opposite Meryl Streep in a previous film and it was
felt that the chemistry was no good between them and more importantly I think
probably Robert Redford had a financial investment in the script. It was of
course a very wise decision from a financial point of view to give Redford the
role and one of the reasons why the film was such a success.

2°)
The filmmakers met with
Grant, who was keen to do the film and was subsequently named alongside Sharni Vinson as the nurse whom the
comatose Patrick tries to seduce using his psychokinetic powers, and Rachel
Griffiths as the matron.
The budget was funded by a
combination of Screen Australia, Film Victoria, Screen Queensland, the
Melbourne International Film Festival Premiere Fund, the 40 percent producer
rebate, private investment and gap financing from Bankside.
But it wasn't enough to
cover Grant's fee so he dropped out and Bankside was asked to supply more
names, with Dance prominent among them. Dance signed up and shooting is due to
start at Melbourne's Docklands Studios on November 12. The director is very
happy to be working with Dance, who's made a career out of playing villains and
is starring in TV's Game of Thrones.
With amusement, he recounted
how he was accidentally sent the wrong script for Last Action Hero,
where his character’s entry into the film is described in the words "the
door opens and there stands Alan Rickman". On the first day of shooting,
Dance wore a T-shirt which read "I’m cheaper than Alan Rickman".

ONE of the Sydney Festival's
big drawcards, the British actor Michael Gambon, has been forced to pull out a
little more than a week before the event opens.
He was to have appeared in Eh
Joe as part of the Beckett season presented by Dublin's Gate Theatre, but
the festival said yesterday that he could not make the trip for personal
reasons.
He will be replaced by
another distinguished British performer, Charles Dance, seen recently on the
ABC in the BBC series Bleak House. Late yesterday his image had replaced
that of Gambon on the festival's website
The role of Gerry -the
smart, intellectual, charming and tall British politician- was written with
Albert Finney (Erin Brokovitch) in mind. But though Shirley is a good
friend of the talented actor, she couldn't convince him to take on the role.
She tried to picture who she would like to be in bed with -Richard Harris,
James Fox and Gabriel Byrne were all approached and successively turned down
the role.
Charles Dance was available
and willing to take on the role of Gerry.

in 2002 / Black and White...first choice : Nigel Hawthorne
...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...

There's a touch of bad-news-good-news about this Sunday's sell-out gala performance of The Hollow Crown at Frome's Merlin Theatre. The bad news is that health problems have forced Sir Nigel Hawthorne, to withdraw from the star-studded lineup. But Frome Festival director Martin Bax was able to announce that Sir Nigel's old friend Charles Dance will take his place. "It is a great blow to all of us, but I am thrilled that Charles Dance has been able to step in", he said

Charles about Ali G
You’re not renowned for comedy. How did you get Ali G?
I was asked. When Mike Gambon and I were doing Gosford Park together, I went into make-up one morning and Mike said: ‘I’ve got this Ali G film.’ I said: ‘So have I.’ He replied: ‘I’ll do it if you do.’ We share the same agent so we went in and thought it would be fun for a few weeks. It was nice as – you’re right – I don’t do much comedy. In this business you are what you are deemed to be and if you don’t do much comedy you aren’t asked to do much.

and the director of Space Truckers :
FF: And with Dennis Hopper, Stephen Dorff, Debi Mazar and Charles Dance you had quite a fantastic cast (note to self – I need to see this ASAP).
SG: Yeah, a great cast. Charles Dance was wonderful, we had a great time. He was really funny. All of them liked the script and really wanted to do it. Charles Dance saw me and told me that it was his daughter who had asked him to do the film. She had read the script and said "dad, you’ve really got to do this one". There was one scene I remember – he plays a guy who is a sort of cyborg, he’s half man and half machine – Debbie Mazar pulls all of his equipment apart and he’s lying on the floor with all of these fluids squirting out of him and he looked at me and he said "this is all my daughter’s fault, this is the end of my career".

'Despite the Falling Snow' had a very small sneak preview screening last night in Soho. There's still some post production work to come but Rebecca Ferguson took time out from the Mission Impossible 5 shoot to come and see herself as Katya ...and Lauren, and Charles Dance and Anthony Head also came along. Here we all are with Exec Producers, and a few younger cast including Ariella Tchenguiz Imerman and a couple of Sarif-Kattan boys who took cameo roles. Growing up fast! Screening went well - I was never so glad to hear an audience crying at the end "
