I've most recently seen Charles Dance as the malevolent lawyer, Mr. Tulkinghorn in the miniseries version of 'Bleak House' (which starred a surprisingly amazing Gillian Anderson as Lady Dedlock--Dickens sure did come up with great character names). About 10 years ago (more?) he starred in a remake of 'Rebecca' in the lead role previously portrayed by Laurence Olivier.

His characters seem to ooze charisma and malevolence.
