An interview from Spain

Charles Dance "I've Never read the books of 'Game of Thrones' They are very big and life is too short"
I know that you absolutely can not reveal anything of the fourth season of the series, but at least, do could be defined in one word?
"Better".
Like an actor with a career behind him as long this popularity boom thanks to the series live?
In this business the popularity comes and goes. You can be on top this month and nobody remembers you next month. This has always been so. In 1982 I worked on a British series called 'The Crown Jewel' which took a lot of audience. Right after, I went on to do theater, where you are much less visible to the public. From what I've experienced in my flesh what is ephemeral fame.
Do you think, as some claim, television fiction is experiencing its great Golden Age?
Yes I agree. Physically, the TV is smaller than the movie screen. To see a movie at the theater you must lift your head, while to watch TV you have to look down. However this difference is decreasing because the TV screens are growing. That said, many players prefer to work in television because the film industry has become obsessed with the franchise, the blockbuster, and the box office. Many of his scripts are crap. If you want to find good writers, it is easier to find them in TV fiction.
Did you read the books of 'Game of Thrones' in which the series is based?
No. I've never read and I'm not interested. My job is to work with the adaptations of the books, not the books themselves. So I dedicate my time to read and learn me the scripts. Life is very short and very fat books.
How is your relationship in real life with the actors who play his sons on the show?
Lena Headey is the third time that my daughter does in fiction. It is a lovely, wonderful, very beautiful and talented girl, and we are very good friends. With Nicolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime, had never met before. It is a great guy and a great actor. The series is definitely my favorite son because he is perfect: tall, handsome, smart ... yet I am disappointed because I put very high demands on it. Off the set also have a good vibe, we are like a small family, obviously better than the Lannister family. Finally, Peter Dinklage is a great, very intuitive and with a big heart actor. Many times I apologize to him because my character is yours like shit, and he's so good-natured ... It is one of the best actors I've ever worked.
Do you find similarities between the way his character rules his kingdom and the political class that now runs the world?
No. The society of 'Game of Thrones' is very medieval, very totalitarian. In Europe we live in democracies.
In 2004 he directed his first film ('Last Spring'). Have you thought about directing again? And if so, would you ever like to direct an episode of 'Game of Thrones'?
This spring start shooting my second film. But 'Game of Thrones' is too large and requires too much of the director. Conducting this type of mammoth television products has nothing to do with the shooting of a small independent film. Honestly, I do not look capable.

This Sunday the first official trailer of the fourth season of 'Game of Thrones' premieres. In the latest edition of the Festival of Sitges we were able to chat with one of its protagonists, the British Charles Dance, patriarch of the Lannister family and one of the scariest TV characters.

From director Stuart Gordon
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".
