Dance sadly doesn't get much opportunity to be the funnyman here: he plays it totally straight as the script requires, though it's written to be a fairly blandly functional role, hence why an actor of his caliber ends up bang in last place.

He's certainly not bad, but it's just a disappointingly forgettable role for such a talented performer.
