I read the book before the series came out and had my own Lord Tywin in my mind. Ever since seeing this man act as him, he is all I picture whenever Lord Tywin is mentioned in the books. He's that good.
After reading the books, I must say that Charles Dance is the BEST person to be cast as Lord Tywin. He OWNS the character! He truly is LORD TYWIN LANNISTER
He could read a bus timetable and be utterly captivating! Game of Thrones just won't be the same without him, really hope they have his brother Kevan in season 5 n the part where he talks about how Tywin was only as ruthless as he had to be - folk who say Tywin is evil clearly haven't read the books or even watched the show!
I like Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister. He reminds me of my dad, "Mr. Old School," stern, tough, proud, downright mean at times... always laying down the law. I hate him but admire him.
On a marvellous action film called "The last action hero", starring Arnold and him as villain, he played Benedict, one of my favourite villains of all time, and he had several ultra cool glass eyes.
Agreed, he wanted peace, never wanted war. War was thrust upon him and his kin was taken hostage. He knows what needs to be done and he sets about it in a no bullshit manner.
War is evil..hes just in it. Tywin is actually one of the most practical characters in series. Its why he is so strong, why his house remain so strong. He is an image of his age, and his surroundings. I'm a Targaryen fan, but you gotta give props where earned.
By Olympus, I still remember him from Golden Child. But, fortunately, I also remember him from Gosford Park. I can't imagine anyone else portraying Tywi
The only way to watch any Charles Dance interview is with a Rains of Castamere rendition on the background in low volume. Improves each one by about 100%, which seems impossible, but trust me.
Even in real life he has something impressing
That dude's clearly a sith lord
Or an Trawn\Tarkin-esque imperial admiral.
I'm gonna miss him, Mr. Dance is a fantastic actor.

He really is a fantastic actor.
This guy has always reminded me of Peter Cushing. Great actor, loved the scenes at Harrenhal
i imagine his voice is what god would sound like.
He IS God...
מתן נפשי "It really is"

That wink at the end. Charles is a master.
How come he never been offered to play a role in StarWars franchise? Yet?
I know, it's ridiculous isn't? It?
Battle Axe Films
Yup. Nice one, smarty pants... :)
Paul Weaver He'd make a good Moff Tarkin
Alas...Not Tarkin :)
They couldn't have found a better actor for Tywin, he truly nails the role of a straightforward strategist who doesn't smile.
Charles Dance as Darth Vader.
:O
I just adore this actor! So strong carisma... Its perfect for Tywin :)
I love every scene he's in
"It's very well written, and I can't say that about everything I'm involved with." Holy crap, that's quite a burn, and I don't even know against whom.
my left ear enjoyed this, my right ear is a sad panda.
This actor has so much potential, unbelievably good.

dance gives an awesome performance in game of thrones..
one of the very best i think..
his portrayal of Tywin Lannister is amazing also loved the strike back reference also an awesome show.
Its one of the few characters that i can say has the same personality as the actor himself, its amazing how well suited the Tywin paper is for him.
love his voice
My left ear loves this interview.
Every time I see him on the screen, I think Peter Cushing as Grand Moff Tarkin and I love that!
my left ear loved this
Tywin is one of my favorite characters. He's so straight forward and harsh :-)
This guy plays one of the biggest badass I've seen, his appearance is so menacing.
On a marvellous action film called "The last action hero", starring Arnold and him as villain, he played Benedict, one of my favourite villains of all time, and he had several ultra cool glass eyes.
Tywin Lannister does a magnificent role playing Charles Dance
he is just amazing!!! genius! Brillant!!!! Marvelous!!!!
Tywin is a inspiration to me.
His Voice so epic *-*
Agreed, he wanted peace, never wanted war. War was thrust upon him and his kin was taken hostage. He knows what needs to be done and he sets about it in a no bullshit manner.
one of my best characters in the series
My left ear really liked that interview :)
He is almost exactly how I pictured Tywin in the book
PERFECT casting for Tywin!

My left ear loved what he said
this man should have more roles in other movies, he is quite epic.
Charles Dance is perfect for Tywin Lannister, he's like him even in real life ^^
"I can't say that about everything I'm involved in." Legend!
wow if i met him i would be kinda scared lol just because he plays the part of tywin so well.
he's so cool! he even shot jack slater in last action hero.
My left ear enjoyed this.
he need to do more movies, loved him in Alien 3
By Olympus, I still remember him from Golden Child. But, fortunately, I also remember him from Gosford Park. I can't imagine anyone else portraying Tywi
OMG Dude YES!!!
My left ear enjoyed this
Recently watched Going Postal... now I can't keep Tywin and Lord Vetinari apart in my mind. Charles Dance defines both roles.
Tywin does a fantastic Charles Dance.
Watching it right now lol
So where do I get an audio book with him reading game of thrones?
He really needs to play a villain in one of those new Star Wars movies. Amazing actor.
I hope that Charles won't be too sad by some seasons.
You know, he really should show more love to his sons.
The definition of the term "badass".
Yep... I was checking my headphones once this thing started. I thought they were breaking at first D:
Graaammpps!!
seeing this interview, he IS tywin lannister
Damn, I'm so good in playing Charles Dance...
Jigsaw is playing Tywin Lannister! Fantastic.
I FUCKING LOVE TYWIN LANNISTER!
That ma's use of language rivals Dirty Uncle Willie (Bill Clinton). What a beast.
Man he has been around FOREVER, still looks the same as he did in the Golden Child with Eddie Murphy back in the 80s!
I never liked Tywin Lannister until I got a good viewing or Charles Dance playing him. So....damn....good.
Thank god I read your comment! For a secound I thought I was becomming deaf!
The actor who played Jiwsaw is called Tobin Bell, mate.
He is Tywin Lannister IN REAL LIFE! I'd never want to make him angry.
"And i cant say that about everything im involved in" I bet he was talking about underworld awakening when he said that
I recommend STRIKE BACK! Charles Dance is the main villain and it is freaking awesome!
I like how he puts it "The relation between Tywin and Tyrion is not quite going to improve"
2:30 Tywin lannister smiling!
The only way to watch any Charles Dance interview is with a Rains of Castamere rendition on the background in low volume. Improves each one by about 100%, which seems impossible, but trust me.
Great actor!
Why is there no interviews with the actor who plays Stannis Baratheon?..
lol I'm always checking for his glass-eye
jolly good idea good sir!
This guy's awesome. That is all.
Charles Dance=BOSS!
How he doesn't become comatose answering the same questions in the same way everytime is a mystery to me.
Yep
Credits: Tywin Lannister as Charles Dance.
I think he would be perfectly cast as that general dude in the star wars sequels. You know the one from Episode IV.
I hope they give him great scenes with his grandson in season 3! It's not in the book, but it could be so awesome after the Arya/Tywin experience!
Tywin is one of the best characters.
This guy is a complete boss.
Fucking Awesome
Tywin Lannister is such a boos and Charles Dance is the best actor on the show. I will get mad if he doesnt get an Emmy nomination
I am so great
Woa Wha Woa What? He's THAT guy!?
"Things don't improve...between Tyrion and me".
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, Understatements.
Yes, Ok, the writing is good, point taken.
My right ear felt a bit lonely during this video.
Tywin = BADASS
Sir* Charles Dance. This man DEFINITELY deserves the title.
Tywin plays a great Charles Dance. LOL
He's exactly who i imagined to be Tywin
I like that he acknowledged some of his previous work. *Cough* Last Action Hero *Cough*
Dat wink.
My right ear is lonely.
