This week, Thea Sharrock's adaptation of Jojo Moyes' novel
Me Before You arrives in cinemas, starring Sam Claflin and Emilia Clarke, who we all know as Daenerys in
Game of Thrones. But lo-and-behold, another "throner" pops up in the cast list: the awesome Charles Dance, who played Tywin Lannister in that series.
Charles Dance will turn 70 this year, but he's as far removed from a feeble old man stereotype as you can imagine. With his icy stare and imposing physique, he can still intimidate the shit out of anyone. For decades he's been playing all kinds of villains, in films dark and light, but his forays into other roles have also proven him to be a magnificent all-round actor.
So once again I'm going to use twelve pictures of one of my favourite thespians to make a quiz. Click through the images, and guess which movies or shows they're from. No competition, no prizes, just for fun, try to see how far you get without using IMDb!
And I'll post the answers next Thursday, or earlier if someone gets all of them right.
And here he is as Stephen Traynor in Me Before You.
This one doesn't count yet for the quiz, but all others do, so please browse through the gallery: click on the edge of the picture to get the next one, and see how many of them all you can identify!
