Growing up in Plymouth, he attended Widey Technical School for Boys ( it closed when known as Widey High School in 1988 ) in Crownhill. Dance later attended The Leicester College of Arts ( now known as De Montfort University ), where he studied Graphic Design and Photography. When Dance was about 3 years old, his father died. Dance had always thought that his father had been in his early fifties when he died, but discovered that was incorrect when he took part in the Who Do You Think You Are ? TV programme first broadcast on 6 July 2017, in which he discovered his father was actually some 25 years older when he died. Career Royal Shakespeare Company ( RSC ) Dance was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company during the mid-to - late 1970s and was in many of their productions in London and Stratford - upon - Avon. Later he returned to the RSC to take the title role in Coriolanus at Stratford - upon - Avon and Newcastle in 1989, and at the Barbican Theatre in 1990. He received rave reviews and a Critics ' Circle Best Actor award for his performance as the Oxford don C.S. Lewis in William Nicholson 's Shadowlands, in the 2007 stage revival. Television and film Dance made his screen debut in 1974, in the ITV series Father Brown as Commandant Neil O'Brien in `` The Secret Garden '', but his big break came ten years later when he played the major role of Guy Perron in The Jewel in the Crown ( Granada Television, Christopher Morahan 1984 ), an adaptation of Paul Scott 's novels that also made stars of Geraldine James and Art Malik. He appeared in Paris Connections ( 2010 ) as the Russian oligarch Aleksandr Borinski. Dance made one of his earliest big screen appearances in the 1981 James Bond film For Your Eyes Only as evil henchman Claus. Though he turned down the opportunity to screen test for the James Bond role, in 1989 he played Bond creator Ian Fleming in Anglia Television 's dramatised biography, Goldeneye ( the name of Fleming 's estate in Jamaica and a title later used for a James Bond film ). He has also starred in many other British television dramas such as Edward the Seventh ( as dissolute Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, Edward VII 's oldest son, and heir to the throne ), Murder Rooms, Randall and Hopkirk, Rebecca, The Phantom of the Opera, Fingersmith and Bleak House ( for which he received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie ). He was name - checked in the British comedy series Absolutely Fabulous, as being slated to play the title character in The Life of Jesus Christ 2, which was filming in Morocco at the same time as the main characters of the series were there for a photo shoot. He also played Guy Spencer, the pro-Hitler propagandist, in the second instalment of Foyle 's War, and had an ongoing role as Dr. Maltravers in the ITV drama Trinity. Dance made a guest appearance on the BBC drama series Merlin as the Witchfinder Aredian, and as a vainglorious version of himself in the third series of Jam & Jerusalem. He played Havelock Vetinari in the 2010 Sky adaptation of Terry Pratchett 's Going Postal. He played the role of Tywin Lannister in HBO 's Game of Thrones, based on the Song of Ice and Fire novels by George R.R. Martin. Dance was wooed for the role by the producers while filming Your Highness in Belfast. Dance also played Conrad Knox on the British television series Strike Back : Vengeance as the primary villain in the series. On 30 June 2013, Dance appeared with other celebrities in an episode of the BBC 's Top Gear as a `` Star in a Reasonably Priced Car '' for the debut of the Vauxhall Astra. Screenwriting and directing Dance 's debut film as a writer and director was Ladies in Lavender ( 2004 ), which starred Judi Dench and Maggie Smith. In 2009, he directed his own adaptation of Alice Thomas Ellis 's The Inn at the Edge of the World. Personal Life Dance married Joanna Haythorn in 1970. They have two children, Oliver Matthew ( b. 1974 ) Rebecca Le Fevre ( b. 1980 ). Haythorn and Dance divorced in 2004. He became engaged to sculptor Eleanor Boorman in September 2010.
