Charles Dance
as Tywin Lannister
Character Overview: Lord of Casterly Rock, Shield of Lannisport and Warden of the West, Tywin is a calculating, ruthless, and controlling man. He was happily married to Joanna Lannister, a cousin, but she died in childbirth while delivering his son Tyrion, and he took no other wife. He loves his children Jaime and Cersei, but despises Tyrion for being deformed and causing his beloved Joanna’s death, as well as shaming the family name with his frequent whoring. – Wikipedia
Actor Bio: Tall, sandy-haired British actor Charles Dance trained for a career in graphic design at Plymouth College of Art and Leicester College of Art. Dance developed a taste for the theatre by listening to the reminiscences of two elderly actors who ran a pub in his Dover neighborhood. He joined the Royal Shakespeare Company at the age of 29, and made his first film, the James Bond picture For Your Eyes Only, six years later. Dance’s widest professional exposure came in 1984 when he appeared in The Jewel in the Crown, a 14-part British TV production seen in the U.S. on Masterpiece Theatre. Charles Dance’s best-remembered performances have been as D.W. Griffith in Good Morning Babylon (1987); the role of Meryl Streep’s husband in Plenty (1985); the title part in the 1990 TV adaptation of Phantom of the Opera; and the displaced “imaginary” villain in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s The Last Action Hero (1993). – Starpulse
