Mr Dance will be at an exclusive "In Conversation event" with photographer Andy Gotts
Andy’s acclaimed exhibition, NEMESIS, is currently on display in our gallery, showcasing a collection of stunning portraits of the stars behind some of the most infamous villains in James Bond’s cinema history – Charles himself is one of the subjects.
The actor, director, and Game Of Thrones star Charles Dance tells Gyles about his childhood, adolescence and the early years of his career: which are possibly not what you'd expect. Dance was born to working class parents in the Midlands, lost his father when he was only 3, and then moved to Plymouth where he developed a stammer. He didn't train to be an actor until later, and his training was unorthodox - he was taught by two eccentric old men in the midst of rural Devon, where ballet exercises were done by holding onto the towel rail in front of the Aga. Charles also talks to Gyles about the failure of his first marriage, about his first job, and his time in the school choir.
"For the most part it was a wonderful marriage, but then, unfortunately, I succumbed to some temptations along the way and the marriage ended because of my behaviour really....
Because we were living in Somerset, in this enormous place, and Jo had her study at one end and I had mine at the other end, and we became a bit like George and Martha in the play Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? really after a while"
Eventually I came back and I thought, “really, we have to have (a) very serious conversation”. And I had to come clean and it came as a shock to Jo, bless her.’
I don’t want to be seen to be scrabbling around for excuses.’
never thought of myself as attractive’
‘I really didn’t…’ he added. ‘(It) wasn’t until I did The Jewel In The Crown years later and people talked about me as being “the thinking woman’s crumpet”.
I always felt very grateful if girls behaved as if they were attracted to me.’
In our business, Gyles, temptation is often presented and you have to be pretty together and balanced, and have not a particularly powerful libido to not succumb to that.
So, the marriage came to an end – huge regret. But after about 18 months, Jo and I, thankfully, became the best of friends, and we remain so, thank God.’
Oh my goodness, the benefit of hindsight.
‘It took me a long time to learn the law of cause and effect.’
To be honest, it’s meeting Alessandra.’
Alessandra’s fantastic. I’m very, very lucky.’

Mr Dance at a Q&A with photographer Andy Gotts at Leicester...
Andy Gotts, who studied a Masters in photography at De Montfort University Leicester (DMU), gave a talk at Phoenix arts centre to mark the opening of Nemesis, a new collection of his work featuring actors who have appeared as villains in the James Bond franchise.
Veteran actor Charles Dance, who played mercenary Claus in For Your Eyes Only, spoke about the experience of working with Andy in a discussion chaired by Dr James Russell, Deputy Dean for Computing, Engineering and Media at DMU.
Charles, himself a former DMU graduate, first met Andy at an alumni dinner hosted by the university a few years ago.
Andy said that moment was the spark which helped him secure Charles’s time to shoot his portrait.
I had the honour of hosting two of our incredible alumni last night, award-winning actor Charles Dance OBE and interna;tionally renowned photographer Andy Gotts MBE for an exclusive “In Conversation” event.

Photographer Andy Gotts about his portraits of actors who played vilains in Bond movies
"Charles was the very last person shot for my NEMESIS exhibition. I had been wanting to photograph him for quite some time, but I never had any luck.
"I knew via mutual friends 'Charlie' was not too keen with being photographed and this was why I always got a polite decline from his management.
"It just so happens both Charlie and I went to the same university in Leicester, DMU (De Montfort University), which was perfect when we were invited to an alumnus dinner.
"Due to clever and creative table settings, which I helped with, I ended up sitting next to Mr Dance for the duration of the meal and after several glasses of red wine he agreed to be shot by me.
"Perseverance works."
