Charles at the critics' circle theatre awards 2007

Amongst the acceptance speeches, Charles Dance caused a stir by effectively biting the hands that fed him. After collecting his Best Actor Award for Shadowlands, Dance pulled out a sheet of paper and disdainfully re-read a clutch of “sobering”, unflattering reviews from earlier in his career. Written by Robert Gore-Langton (formerly of the Daily Express), our own Michael Coveney (then of the Daily Mail) and Charles Spencer (stood next to Dance on the stage as the actor spoke), the historic notices dismissed Dance as “bland”, “dull”, “weak” and “undeserving” of his fame. The actor said that he had, in subsequent years, stopped reading reviews – though he understood that he and Shadowlands received very good ones.
