What was he famous for before Game Of Thrones?


I mean, it's not exactly a stellar line up of movies. Alien 3, Last Action Hero, brief role as a bad guy in a Roger Moore Bond movie. And yet, he seemed to have an pretty iconic status before his role as the old lion, how come?

He's been a class act for over 30 years still remember his first role For your eyes only playing hitman. I've never seen a bad performance from sir Dance.

Which movies had you seen of him before he was in Game of Thrones?

reply

For your eyes only, Golden Child, Last Action Hero, Alien 3, Imitation Game.

I started watching GOT this year and was surprised when he showed up as Tywin Lannister. His presence have always got me and I'm not sure if its his height or intensive look probably both. He's the British version of James Cromwell :D

Hi EricCartmanBrah,

Charles Dance's has worked in UK television for years, the medium for his he earned his iconic status. He received international acclaim years ago for Jewel In the Crown.

Because he came through the ranks of British stage actors, that's why he's highly regarded. Those that take that route are highly trained, and thus well respected in the industry.
