Cast Archive: Charles Dance
Charles Dance
Birthday: October 10, 1946
Birth Place: Worcestershire, England, GB
Resides: United Kingdom
Professions: actor, stagehand
This distinguished-looking, blond lead first established himself on stage as a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Charles Dance first garnered international attention in the highly acclaimed 15-part epic that became emblematic of English heritage TV, "The Jewel in the Crown" (1984-85). With his blanched foppish allure, he soon became a film actor, appearing as Meryl Streep's long-suffering husband in Plenty (1985) and later starred as a sexual rogue in Michael Radford's uneven White Mischief (1988). He also has portrayed a boobish archeologist in Pascali's Island (1988) and was quite effective as pioneering film director D W Griffith in the Taviani brothers' Good Morning Babylon (1987).

Dance has played class-act Brits in starring turns in several action pictures: "Alien 3" (1992), as the love interest of Sigourney Weaver, and Last Action Hero (1993), as a villain with an explosive glass eye in that notorious flop. Dance next had a bit of a stretch, personifying a high-toned Southern wife batterer in the somewhat muddy noir, China Moon (1994). He won critical praise, however, for his performance as an upper-crust seducer in Philip Haas' anachronistic The Blood Oranges (). After returning to the stage in a 1999 revival of "Good", for which he earned widespread page, Dance returned to the small screen as co-star of the British telefilm "Murder Rooms: The Dark Beginnings of Sherlock Holmes" (2000) and was seen in the ensemble of Gosford Park (2001).
