From an interview with Rachel Griffiths

Game of Thrones star Charles Dance plays dad to Rachel Griffiths in Australian thriller Patrick, 15 years after they last shared the screen.

Back in 1998, long before he played Tywin Lannister, the veteran English actor first portrayed Griffiths' father in the movie Hilary and Jackie.

Griffiths says working with Dance again on Patrick, a remake of the 1978 Aussie horror classic, was one of many reasons she signed on.

Charles was on board and I had really good fun with Charles on another movie that he played my father in," she says.

Although they haven't stayed in touch, Griffiths admits she's an avid watcher of his HBO series.

"I've been loving Game of Thrones. Big, big fan."
