Picture

Would it not be better to have a picture of him in which he isn't wearing a mask? So we can actually see what he looks like? John1701 19:06, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Charles studied Graphic design in Leicester

I studied Graphic design at Southfields college in Leicester in the late 80s, and our lecturers mentioned many times that they had taught Charles, but even then he was far more interested in acting. I think that this was in the 70s? Southfields is now part of De Monfort university now. - Gary 26 Nov 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.9.25.2 (talk) 08:09, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Was he born in Redditch?

The references say Rednal (Birmingham) and Worcestershire. Anything definite? $\alpha$ 17:18, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Photo

Some dispute over the status of the photo, what follows is the discussion from Stemoc's talk page as it's probably best discussed here. I'll raise it on commons as well. 2.25.122.35 (talk) 07:43, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You reverted an edit I made. Clearly on the page I linked to the photo is copyright to Showmasters Ltd as stated. The Flickr user has mistakingly placed it under creative commons, when attendees who buy photos with guests at showmasters events like London Film Con do not get any copyrights - see the show masters photo shoot library about page here http://showmasters.photoshelter.com/about/. How you can say showmasters took the photo from a Flickr page is baffling when they them self take the professional photoshoots at their own events and retain copyright. The photo should be replaced. Animalhumour (talk) 20:53, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The person who is in the picture OWNS the copyright of the image and he has released the picture on a free licence and thus it is allowed to be used on enwiki. That person paid for the image and thus OWNS FULL COPYRIGHT to the image and has willingly released the image on a free licence..--Stemoc (talk) 06:52, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can you cite that in law? As understand it, copyright remains with the person who took the photo, regardless of whether or not they sell copies of it. Otherwise an image that was sold thousands of times would have its copyright split between everyone who bought it. This seems to me to be obviously not a free image. 2.25.122.35 (talk) 07:37, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Omitted credit

Shouldn't "Fallen Angel" be among his credits? (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDtF4oB3d9E)173.76.235.46 (talk) 06:46, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Film

One important missing asset should I point out in the Television section. Charles Dance is widely acclaimed and is heavily known for playing the best rendition of British spy novelist, Ian Fleming in the autobiography made for TV, called Goldeneye: The Secret Life of Ian Fleming, released in 1989. But, I don't see the title being listed anywhere in the article, nor has a separate coverage for its own. Shouldn't anyone do something about it? --ZeroMinusTen (talk) 08:19, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dad age ?

Something is wrong in his biography, it is written his dad at 26 years old but that does not match the dates given 2A02:C7F:EAAF:5600:447B:C17:5D84:3BFD (talk) 23:27, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Opening paragraph

I rather loathe opening paragraphs for actors that start off with "he is best known for . . . " and then list a half dozen roles (or in this case, eight). "Best known for . . . " should, I think, be reserved for the best known role, or perhaps two. I don't know which of these roles is his best known (I first saw him as the glass-eyed villian in Last Action Hero), but my guess is that, at least to American audiences, his best known role is not any movie role, but his performance in Game of Thrones. I mean, the lead should not be a mishmash that repeats everything in an actor's career section. I'm not doing anything yet, but am interested in others' thoughts before taking the keyboard to the lede. Un school 19:49, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lookalike towards Prince Phillip and Johnathan Pryce

Not a highly insightful thought, just wanted to comment about how much he looks like Prince Phillip and his portrayal in season 5 & 6 of The Crown by Johnathan Pryce. 2603:8001:3300:DBC9:C0B0:620A:463D:9C6B (talk) 01:37, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
