Charles was at the 70th anniversary of VJ Day

"By the old Moulmein Pagoda, looking lazy at the sea; On the road to Mandalay, Where the old Flotilla lay, With our sick beneath the awnings when we went to Mandalay! O the road to Mandalay, Where the flyin'-fishes play, An' the dawn comes up like thunder outer China 'crost the Bay!

 Charles Dance, who  read Kipling's Mandalay, said of the experience:
"It was rather nerve-wracking. I think I'd rather do ten first nights in a row. It's extraordinary because I life pretending to do daring things, or nasty things, but you know I pretend. That's my job and this is remembering the people who don't pretend, they do it for real.
"And standing next to people like Lord Slim who is an extraordinary man, and I mean, all of these people are, and it's a tiny little thing for people like me to be able to come along and contribute to this. But I tell you, it's nerve-wracking."
"Even though I was quite a way away I could actually see people mouthing the words. It's astonishing.
"It's not just being among friends, you stand here on an occasion like this and you think, Christ, it's part of history, it's just amazing.
"I was, before doing this, just reading through it myself in one of the offices here and I was shown Wellington's desk, where he sat and plotted the path to Waterloo. There it is, still in use. It's just astonishing."

Matthew Graham about Charles (Mr Dance)

http://aboutactorcharlesdance.blogspot.fr/2015/07/charles-is-karellen.html
"To those people who have read the book and enjoyed the book, loved the book, I assure them that Karellen is Karellen," Graham said. "He is the Karellen of the book. He has not been taken figuratively or metaphorically in any way. It would be crazy to deviate from what Arthur C. Clarke had envisioned. And actually, having seen Karellen on screen a lot in the last few months, it's lost none of its iconic power as an image. 

It wasn't really about casting a Brit. It was about casting Charles Dance."
"I mean, it's quite something to be fixed by Charles's stare like that," Graham continued, "and his voice. You needed somebody who felt like a global voice, a strong intergalactic leader, but somebody who was also a philosopher, who was also a teacher, who was also a friend, had passion but was very stern in the consistency of his plan. And there really aren't many actors who could convey all of that, and Charles is at a point in his career where he could, and more so."
