Rabbit Hole: Charles Dance and Meta Golding on Their Characters, Filming Tricky Scenes
Charles, Ben is a walking conspiracy theorist, and his theories are subsequently confirmed. What's the most fun about playing a character like him?
Charles: Well, it's the same fun about playing any character that's really well written and is as intriguing as that character is because I, like most of us in the cast, weren't given all the information from day one.
And it was a very interesting journey when somebody says, "Okay, you're going to turn left here, but we're not going to tell you what's around the corner, but you are going to turn left." And you know, think, "Right, okay." So off I go, and I turn left.
I think, "Oh my God and I can't go back." I've got to go on, and now you're going to turn right, you know? Does that make sense to you?
Absolutely, given the story. Of course.
Charles: And it's a really fascinating exercise because some of the jobs we do as actors, and I can only speak personally, although I'm using the royal "we" here rather presumptuous.
Meta: No, it's true.
Charles: Do you know that there are times when… Here's the job, there it is, this is either a one-off film or it's a television series — perfect example, Game of Thrones. We knew what was happening at the end of the season from day one at the beginning of the season, there were 10 episodes right through. So you know what's happening.
This, it's really intriguing because you are not quite sure, you have a fair idea. But these writers are very, very clever, and it certainly keeps you on your toes as an actor when you're doing something like that.
So you're saying you received it script by script versus having it charted out for you?
Charles: Well, yeah, so I'm not saying that we had absolutely no idea at all. I mean, we knew the general direction that our characters were going to go in, but not 100%, no.
But whenever John kind of confronts him about, "Hey, you pretended you killed yourself, and it changed the entire course of my life." He kind of plays it off. What do you think Ben's really feeling at that point where he sees his son again for the first time?
Charles: That's a very, very good question. I think Ben is taking an enormous risk. And I felt he was pretty confident about the outcome of giving his son that kind of information. I mean, it's shattering. I mean, really, it's quite extraordinary.
And I like to think that my character decided that, "Okay, there's no getting around this. I actually need the help that my son can give me, and I'm going to have to confess to something that has caused such trauma in the last few years of his life that I'm just going to take the risk."
And if, having given him that information, he just promptly tells me to get out of his life and, really, I want absolutely nothing to do with you, then that's something I would've had to have accepted. It was quite a gamble for Ben Wilson to do that.
