There’s no shortage of stories surrounding the potential candidates to lead the franchise of James Bond movies. In the case of Game of Thrones star Charles Dance, his story is rather interesting, as he was considered as a potential replacement in the ‘80s. However, that candidacy didn’t go too far, as Dance wasn’t so keen on auditioning.

It’s a fine line that was walked during Charles Dance’s interview with The Guardian, as the previous tale of his passing on the opportunity almost sounded like he was offered the job.
