Book Charles Dance
Charles Dance is an English actor celebrated for commanding, often chilling portrayals of authority figures and villains. He came up through the Royal Shakespeare Company in the 1970s and later returned to lead Coriolanus in 1989. His feature debut was the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only (1981), and he has since moved between blockbusters such as The Golden Child (1986), Alien 3 (1992), Last Action Hero (1993), Underworld: Awakening (2012), Dracula Untold (2014) and Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) and prestige period pieces including Michael Collins (1996), Gosford Park (2001), The Imitation Game (2014), Mank (2020) and The King's Man (2021), plus Frankenstein (2025). Television audiences know him as Guy Perron in The Jewel in the Crown, Mr Tulkinghorn in Bleak House, the formidable Tywin Lannister in Game of Thrones and Lord Mountbatten in The Crown, work that has brought four Primetime Emmy nominations and two Actor Awards. He wrote, directed and executive produced Ladies in Lavender (2004). Appointed an OBE in 2006 and honored with the Time Machine Award in 2013, Dance brings gravitas, elegance and a dry wit to every appearance.
