Game of Thrones: Charles Dance wants to reprise Tywin Lannister for prequels

Veteran actor Charles Dance said he is game for featuring in the prequel to successful fantasy epic franchise of Game of Thrones, if the plot is as good as the main series.

The 71-year-old actor, who essayed the role of patriarch Tywin Lannister, said he would love to come back on the show's spin-off, reported Metro newspaper.

"If it was in the same calibre, yes. Because Game of Thrones really was as good as it gets. It's a fantastic series. I look back on it fondly. Occasionally you have long days in the cold, the horse doesn't behave properly, or the armour sticks in the back of your neck, but we're not down in the mines digging for coal, we're actors. We're pretending for everything, and we're very lucky to be able to do that," Dance said.

The actor's character, Tywin was killed off in the fourth season of the show by his son, Tyrion, played by actor Peter Dinklage.

Game of Thrones season seven ended this year in August, while the eighth and final chapter of the series is expected to air by mid-next year.
