:: BIOGRAPHY

He was born in 1946. He first established himself on stage as a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company before he became a film star. 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 White Mischief (1987). He also has portrayed a boobish archeologist in Pascali’s Pascali’s Island (1988) and was quite effective as pioneering film director D.W. Griffith in the Taviani brothers’ Good Morning Babylon (1986). Dance has played class-act Brits in starring turns in several action pictures: Alien 3 (1992), as the love interest of Sigourney Weaver, and The Last Action Hero (1993), as a villain with an explosive glass eye. Dance next had a bit of a stretch, personifying a hightoned Southern wife batterer in the noir, China Moon (1994). He won critical praise, however, for his performance as an upper-crust seducer in Philip Haas’ anachronistic The Blood Oranges (1997). 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). Ladies in Lavender is his first featurelength film.
