Peter Dinklage: The Little Man with a Big Impact
In the world of television, few characters have captured our hearts like Tyrion Lannister from HBO's Game of Thrones. Played by Peter Dinklage, this complex and witty individual has become a fan favorite worldwide. But what makes Dinklage so convincing in his portrayal? Is it simply a matter of drawing parallels between actors and their characters, or is there more to it?
In a rare and revealing interview with Will Lawrence, Dinklage opens up about the changing expectations of a leading man. As we sit down in a luxurious five-star hotel in Cancun, Mexico, I couldn't help but wonder if he would agree with my poetic comparison of him to Tyrion Lannister - a little man with a big impact.
Co-creator Dan Weiss has already made this connection, stating that both Dinklage and his character share a 'core of humanity covered by a shell of sardonic wit.' As I pose the question to Dinklage, I'm surprised to see him nod slowly in agreement. It seems that despite being an actor, he is not immune to the scrutiny of drawing parallels between himself and his character.
Throughout the interview, Dinklage reveals his commitment to staying true to himself, even when faced with the temptation to sacrifice his principles for fame or fortune. This dedication to authenticity has undoubtedly contributed to his success in Hollywood, where leading men are often expected to conform to certain standards.
As we wrap up our conversation, it's clear that Peter Dinklage is more than just a talented actor - he's a true artist who brings depth and nuance to every role he takes on. And as Tyrion Lannister, his impact on the world of Game of Thrones will be felt for years to come.
