I actually originally knew him from a rather cheesy Phantom of the Opera version. It always struh me he had such expressive eyes even under a mask.

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

I remember that one! It was the first adaption I ever saw of the book, and I'm rather fond of it still.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm giggling at the title of secrets link :p

[(Anonymous)]

Is it odd that the first thing that came into my head was that Vetinari has been played by both Rodrigo Borgia and Tywin Lannister? Apparently if you want to portray a Machiavellian tyrant, you've only got a few options.

That said, Charles Dance all the way. His Vetinari was fabulous.

[othellia]

Agreed. I love Jeremy Irons, but - whether it was his personal approach or the way the director told him to do it - he did not mesh well as Vetinari at all.

You have no idea how much I want Charles Dance to come back and do cameos for the Watch series if that ever gets off the ground. Ugh, it feels like forever since Going Postal came out.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. I think it was that he was a bit too ... theatrical? He didn't have the deadpan sangfroid I associate with Vetinari. Plus, a death threat from Vetinari doesn't usually sound silly. I love Irons too, but that wasn't the best Vetinari I've seen, no.

Dance, on the other hand, pretty much nailed with the 'Joke' sequence. I would adore for him to come back as Vetinari.

(I would also flat adore a Watch series).

[(Anonymous)]

the Watch series

What? This is a Possible thing?

Don't fuck around with me woman, THIS IS AN ACTUAL THING?!

MY BODY IS READY

[(Anonymous)]

It is an actual thing!
There's not been much news recently, but it is happening, and its been described as "CSI Ankh Morpork" IIRC, Pratchett and co have set up a new production company in order to make it as faithful to the book universe as they can.

[writerserenyty]

He'll always be Tulkinghorn to me. Always. No matter if he's in something else that will always be the role I'll think of when I see him.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree. In fact, when I saw the secret, I thought "isn't that what's-his-face from Bleak House?" (Couldn't remember the name). But Tulkinghorn was an evil soulless bastard, and I said good riddance when he died.

He totally rocked that villain role.

[athenaltena]

I actually didn't know Charles Dance had played Vetinari but that totally works when I think about it.

[qwentoozla]

Charles Dance was the best Vetinari, definitely! Despite the blondness. Vetinari is my favorite, so I was very pleased with him. :)

OP

[(Anonymous)]

He's a ginger, actually :)

[(Anonymous)]

Loved him in The Golden Child as Sardo Numspa as well as Benedict in The Last Action Hero! He did a nice job as Thomas in Underworld Awakening, despite the terrible script/premise,

I'll have to search for the Phantom piece. Thanks!

[(Anonymous)]

I saw him first in the Golden Child when I was a very little kid... and he scared the hell out of me even before the demonic transformation XD I thought it was only fair to find him play two of my favorite characters (Vetinari and Erik) and do it so very well!

[transcriptanon]

[Picture is of actor Charles Dance playing Havelock Vetinari in the two-part television adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Going Postal. He is a very elegant looking older gentleman.]

Going Postal is the only thing I have seen Charles Dance in, and I'm not interested in seeing him in anything else.

But I still like and reblog gifs and photosets of him from other things (particularly Game of Thrones, there's a lot of that on my dash).

b!s: this man will forever remind me of the sexual frustration I feel in relation to Lord Vetinari

[byonicluna]

This is what Vlad Masters from Danny Phantom wanted to look like.

[(Anonymous)]

Charles Dance... Phwoar. I love him so much! Hits quite a few buttons - English, older, talented, smart, gorgeous, prefers younger women... (He dated Sophia Myles when she was in her early 20s, and dated another woman who was 35 to his 61.)

[amanuensis1]

Every episode of GoT, I keep repeating the riff, "Outta the way, I'm gonna go sleep with Sigourney Weaver."

[(Anonymous)]

My first encounter with him was 'The Last action hero' where he played the baddie opposite Arnie.

"Hello? I've just killed someone and it was Quite deliberate"

[(Anonymous)]

He sucked substantially less than Jeremy Irons, that's for sure, but he still wasn't how I picture Vetinari.

[(Anonymous)]

He was a superb Vetinari. He might not have looked like book!Vetinari, but his gestures, his voice ... I don't think I can ever see anybody else in that role now. Damn hot!
