Charles Dance – 74, Redditch

In case you haven’t been living under a rock for the past decade, chances are, you are probably familiar with Charles Dance’s work. He recently played a key figure in one of the biggest TV shows of our generation— his role as Tywin Lannister in HBO’s blockbuster Game of Thrones has catapulted the British actor’s star power to new heights.

Before he became famous as the patriarch of the Lannister family, Dance had famously worked in productions like Gosford Park and The Imitation Game. If the latest reports are to be believed, Dance is on track for his first Emmy win for his portrayal of Lord Mountbatten in The Crown.
