| Happy as Murderers |
Veteran stage, TV and film actor Charles Dance admitted in an interview with Danish bacon magazine Swine that in his early days at Hollywood he would regularly murder strangers for fun. 'This was the early eighties and there was something in the air,' Dance told Swine journalist Bogdon Hergwitz. 'I was young and I'd just finished The Jewel in the Crown miniseries for the BBC. My agent sent me out to Hollywood and I got work in Plenty, The Golden Child and White Mischief. I was riding high and I got into a fast crowd and yes, some people got murdered.'
Among the gang were other British actors Julian Sands, Rupert Everett and Alan Rickman. The best thing in Alien 3 said:
We would typically go round to someone's house for drinks and then out to a restaurant for dinner, after which we would pick a stranger at random and murder them. We never bothered with alibis or disguises or even avoiding witnesses. Everyone knew we were doing it, but when the police interviewed us they would find our English accents so charming they'd let us off with a warning.
Over the years it is estimated that the Brit Shits - as they called themselves - murdered over 50 people. Mr Dance, who has been on screens recently as the Lannister patriarch in Game of Thrones:
In all honesty we lost count. I remember Julian kept a scrapbook and Rupert collected fingers, but both of them got muddled so I don't know. It all came to an end when Hugh Grant joined the group. His excesses were so vile it made us all take a long hard look at ourselves and we didn't like what we saw. So we stopped.
No, absolutely not. It was fun. Why should I regret it?http://www.thestudioexec.com/2012/10/charles-dance-yes-i-murdered-for-fun.html

Charles will be in Common people
it's for Sky Atlantic, a ten-part series is comprised of 10 short films, all set in South London and linked by characters and locations.
in Bad Grandad, he'll play a retired tour manager who struggles to move on from his wild past.
Common People will air exclusively to Sky customers as part of Sky Atlantic HD's Comedy Mondays.
Common People will comprise ten 11-minute films, tenuously linked by the South London location and by some characters.
The films have been made by Baby Cow – producers of Ideal, Gavin & Stacey and Alan Partridge’s Mid-Morning Matters – and follow the success of Sky 1’s Little Crackers festive shorts.
Common People will air in January as part of Sky Atlantic’s Monday-night comedy strand.
Channel director Elaine Pyke said: ‘Comedy Mondays are proving to be a big hit with Sky Atlantic customers and I’m delighted to add Common People to our incredible comedy slate. Common People is a key show that will further build the channel’s unique voice.’
The shorts are:
BAD GRANDAD is written by Mark Warren and Fraser Steele, who have previously worked on Never Mind the Buzzcocks. It stars Charles Dance as a retired rock and roll tour manager who remains a ‘flamboyant, free spirited, party goer’. It also stars Amelia Bullmore as his rather uptight ballet teacher daughter Becky and Hugo Speer as her husband
