He was George R.R. Martin's first and only choice to play 'Tyrion Lannister' in Game of Thrones (2011).Dinklage is considered such a genuinely pleasant and amiable person by his costars on "Game of Thrones", that many of them found it quite difficult to act out scenes with him in which they were mistreating his character Tyrion. He and Lena Headey are such good friends, in fact, they were sharing an apartment whenever they were filming scenes and drove together to the set each day, even though their characters have a mutual hatred of each other. Charles Dance had also expressed disdain for how his character treated Tyrion, stating that he found it hard to be so mean to a nice man like Dinklage.In his acceptance speech for the Golden Globe, Dinklage called attention to the plight of Martin Henderson, a dwarf who was crippled after being attacked by a rugby player outside a bar.Has achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism in which the body is perfectly formed but the bones initially modelled in cartilage, the long bones of the arms and legs, do not grow long enough. Vel��zquez painted a fine portrait of a man with this condition which hangs in the Prado in Madrid.Even as a struggling actor, he turned down many roles in fantasy films out of fear of being typecast as a magical dwarf or little person for the rest of his career. Living in expensive New York, he admitted that he would often be so short on money that a dinner consisted of a bag of crisps.Is a vegetarian. Anytime you see him eating a meat product on screen, it is a tofu product (such as the tofu "beef" jerky, in The Station Agent (2003)).For his role on Game of Thrones (2011), he was named one of "Eight Actors Who Turn Television into Art," in cover story of The New York Times Magazine (9/11/11).He struggled greatly at the start of his career as he refused to do work where his dwarfism was treated as a joke or caused him to be the object of fun or spectacle.Father of two children with his wife Erica Schmidt.Won the Emmy for "Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama" series 4 times for playing Tyrion Lannister on "Game of Thrones"- setting a new record for most win by an actor in that category in the Emmys' entire history.Son of an elementary school music teacher and retired insurance salesman.

| Quotes: |
[on short stature] When I was younger, definitely, I let it get to me. As an adolescent, I was bitter and angry and I definitely put up these walls. But the older you get, you realize you just have to have a sense of humor. You just know that it's not your problem. It's theirs.
<br />
<hr>
I like animals, all animals. I wouldn't hurt a cat or a dog - or a chicken or a cow. And I wouldn't ask someone else to hurt them for me. That's why I'm a vegetarian.
<br />
<hr>
[after winning a Golden Globe for his performance in Game of Thrones (2011)] I was talking to my mother in Jersey before I came out and she said, "Have fun but have you seen Mildred Pierce (2011)? Guy Pearce is so good. He's gonna win." So . . . I haven't seen "Mildred Pierce" but I'm sure he's really good and I just love our moms because they keep us humble.
<br />
<hr>
I think a lot of great male comic actors are introspective, quiet personalities, which I really admire. But they are really able to turn it up when the camera's on.

I was a sullen kid who smoked cigarettes and wore black every day, and I went to a school that was lacrosse players and Izods. |
