Issy and I just watched a great little indie film called 'The Station Agent', with Peter Dinklage in the leading role. Worth a look.

He is about the biggest (oh ha ha, hilarious reverse pun sir) reason I watch Game of Thrones. He is just wonderfully acerbic and hilarious in the role.

He's the only reason I watch...since they killed off the other reason. Which I will eventually beat someone to death for.



Ya know one of the things I study is Genocides and international justice. I don't want to watch all the good guys die in my fiction. It pisses me off because I think it's bullshit. You can't make fiction look like real life by just killing off people and then having DRAGONS!

Let me put it to you this way, I'm depressed most of the time...if that fat bearded mother fucker wants to make me depressed when I'm supposed to be enjoying nice stories it makes me want to kick his fat fucking ass into traffic. You can only push me with this violence soo far until I start trying to rescue characters!

Heh, everyone fucking dies in this series, read the books.

Tyrion is easily one of the best characters in the book series, bar-none. It was highly gratifying to watch a few episodes of 'A Game Of Thrones' and realize very quickly that not only had Peter Dinklage read the books, but moreover he "gets" Tyrion, he understands the character. He nails the character perfectly, something I was very worried about before the show started. Now that the show is in full swing and onto it's second season, it was very easy to realize that he was one of the reasons that the show succeeded, as much like the book, I look forward to every section and piece with him in it!

/Oh and I see this has the mysterious @ant downvote--this will hit the top fifteen in less than half a fortnight!

Peter Dinklage is probably one of a very very small pool of people on the planet who could pull the role off. The role would have to be played by a dwarf, the books play on the imp/dwarf aspect too much.....since in that world dwarfs are seen as evil/unlucky in most of the world. But he was a dwarf born into a very powerful and rich family (lucky of birth).

So I think he's blowing up because of acting, but he can play the role because he's a dwarf. Totally wouldn't play well if they recast Tyrion as a non-dwarf.


As for the shoots because he's a dwarf........lots of people get pictures shoots when they are doing well. They want the pictures to sell and they pick people who are in the headlines. Playboy had the guy who played Mini Me with a bunch of girls....those were just striking photos since he wasn't much bigger than a lot of their breasts.

They most def censored a few moments. It was hard to catch but it was there. The night itself was pretty much the same drivel as every year, with one acceptation. They did the right thing and chose Peter Dinklage for his roll in A Game of Thrones. The crowd was so behind that one as well. He deserved it.

How can you not like this guy. Great show. The books are good as well.

I misread "books" there at first, but either way, agreed.

"One of my favorite scenes of Game of Thrones."

Every Scene with Peter Dinklage is my favorite scene...he is the reason I bother to watch the worst fucking television show every made religiously.

I lived in NYC for four years and the only celebrity I ever saw up close and in person was Peter Dinklage. That's my lame-claim-to-fame.

I just don't get why those other people are there. The only person I want to see is Peter Dinklage the rest there's no point unless it's Emilia Clarke and she doesn't need a microphone.
