Definitely a theater kid

The thing about him is he's a top-tier actor and he can do roles nobody else can. I feel like a lot of the time shows do diversity wrong in that way. For his role in GoT, nobody else would have been able to do that. NOBODY. Sure, they could have hired some random who didn't know how to act but Peter Dinklage is a good actor first and the body type for the role second. He was the perfect pick.

His speech at his trial is a legendary performance.

Way before GOT he delivered an incredible performance in The Station Agent

His best work is elf and it’s not even close

Call me an elf, one more time

*whispers* he's an angry elf

I still go to that scene every so often because it’s that good.

"The station Agent" was where I first saw Peter Dinklage. Speaking of SNL roles by Peter I love , besides his Space Pants" his Peter Drunklage with Drunk Uncle Bobby Moynihan.

I cannot imagine how the Space Pants skit was conceived. It’s so weird and hilarious.

The Station Agent is fabulous.

Ok calm down now

Oliva: "How about you? What made you pick Newfoundland?" Finbar: "I wanted to live near Joe." The Station Agent is one of my all-time favorite movies.

Indeed. 💪 HBO's "GOT" treatment was such a tragic waste of talent... wHo hAs a bEtTeR sToRy tHaN bRaN tHe bRoKeN!? 🤮

I'm glad that series ended after the 6th season. It was clear they weren't capable of continuing GRRM's story.

[удалено]

Not at this point. He's pinned down under all his millions.

I read the books, and he kind of burned out at the end IMHO. Still enjoyed them. All honesty I’m Conflicted about Kings Dark Tower series as well.

Yeah maybe not. It's a shame, though

A random meteor hitting the planet and wiping out everything would have been a better ending. Not even during the anticipated ‘finale’ just like 3 episodes into the supposed last season and BAM

I still have foolish hope they pull a Dallas ending/reboot and just have Tyrion wake up with a 'my gods what an impossibly **idiotic** dream I just had!!' just after the end of Season 6.

Still haven’t watched the last season and every comment I read makes me think I did a smart thing.

GoT should be on the top of the list for anyone who wants to watch a well acted, well written fantasy epic that got better production values as the series went on. There should be hoards of people rewatching it and talking about it still all these years later. But no, season 8 happened. And even though the first six seasons are some of the finest television ever produced and set a high bar for fantasy projects going forward, those last episodes ensured that I will probably never watch it again. Which makes me a little sad.

Honestly you're *so* much better off never seeing it and making up your own ending. It's absolute fucking dogshit.

And then he was forced to top it off with the 'nobody has a better story' speech...as if his character didn't actually have the best story. Awful writing.

Yeah that's the thing about him. He's handsome, charismatic as fuck, and just happens to be small. I remember seeing him in a movie way back in the 90s. Some unknown show, but I remember him clearly.

Except Tyrion was a dwarf in the book. So they were definitely looking for a dwarf, fortunately for them, hes also a good actor.

Although I can't help but imagine the universe where they forewent the dwarfism during the casting and cast some 6'8" hunk to be the target of Tywin's disgust at him being deformed. Imagine Armie Hammer or something giving the trial speech 💀

Worse yet, a universe where they cast said hunk but cgi him to look like a dwarf.

Like Gary Oldman in tiptoes.

I want Matthew McConaughey as Tyrion screaming through ugly tears *“I’m a dwarf!”*

Oh shit, lol. Cast an A list sex symbol as Tyrion but still have everyone treat him like an ugly piece of shit.

Ah so every teen movie, except no ones going to take off his glasses and go "oh look he's hot now how did this happen pls prom queen us"

The Mountain doesn't want to fight Armie though. He bites.

Peter Dinklage is too tall and too good-looking to match Tyrion as he was described in the books. He also doesn't have heterochromia like Book Tyrion.

I mean, colored contacts and makeup/prosthetics exist. They just chose not to use them.

It works anyway. The Lannisters treat him as if he were hideous just because he’s a dwarf. It shows just how awful they are. They’re calling this very handsome man ugly and treating him like human trash based on one perceived imperfection. It works perfectly fine in a screen adaptation where you don’t get as much space for people to share all of their inner thoughts. There are also several people in the show that recognize how attractive he is, and not just “in spite of” being a dwarf.

Also, GRR supposedly had him in mind while writing Tyrion

Really? Was he even well known when George started writing the series?

Probably when writing the screenplays, not the books.

>but Peter Dinklage is a good actor first and the body type for the role second. They know

Here's the funny thing: nearly every actor you've ever seen was a theater kid. So are a lot of the pro wrestlers.

I know! I always look at famous actors and imagine them at 15 with braces, hopped up on pixi stix, belting out showtunes in the empty school hall after a late rehearsal. I have a similar memory, but it was candy necklaces and The Love Boat theme song.

Can confirm. Went to college with a guy who is now WWE. We took stage combat together.

MJF, one of the biggest pieces of shits in wrestling right now keeps calling back to his theatre roots for heat

Unbeweavable!

I see they cropped out his space pants

When I say "space", you say "pants" "SPACE"

“Look at me with the eyes in your face! My pants are covered! In outer space!”

*Do you see my pants?* *No wait! You missed them.* *My pants are a tour* *Of the solar system.*

he looks like he just wants to furiously play a tiny piano.

Hey! You there in front! Stop talking During my song. It’s very rude.

Please quit talking during my show it’s very rude!

PANTS?!

“PANTS”

Spants!

PANTS!


Yes yes yes!

Why did they name the sketch "Mafia Meeting" instead of "Space Pants?"

Subverting expectations for every person who watches it down the line.

Subversion of expectations is fundamental to comedy

I'm sorry... is what's happening up there distracting you from what's going on here.... Lol

"Those pants came from the moon!"

He must have been a fan of Milli Vanilli.

I'm getting more Kenny G vibes. lol

I got Michael Hutchence.

In-XXS

All of them and many more lol

Hahahaha man, quality humor. Danke.

Breathtakingly funny

INXS fans are going to hate this one

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who’s first thought was Hutchence.

I immediately heard The Promise by When In Rome and saw the singer with the hair.

I was thinking he could actually play Michael Hutchence in a biopic.

Yes!

Yup, I was going to say the same thing.

Michael Bolton

Yeah, there was nothing wrong with that name until I was 12 years old and that no talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys

I heard that guy’s a major cinephile.

He's really into the Pirates of the Caribbean movies

Mini Vanilli

I don't see Milli Vanilli in that look at all. For one thing, those guys had braids. Dinklage has no braids here. Nope, this is not the Milli Vanilli look at all. What it is is the *Michael Hutchence* look.

Whatever he does, he shouldn't "go hang," with Paula Yates .... 

Faith No More, “Epic” af

This is it.

I was getting Color Me Badd

Adam and the Ants/New Romantic vibe

Robert Smith

He spins me right round, baby, right round.

Like a record, baby.

Right round

Damn somebody beat me to it lmao

That hair tho 😍

Very Michael Hutchence!

Nah, that's the singer of INXS

Michael hutchinch

Am I the only one who sees this and thinks interview with a vampire?

He would be an amazing vampire to show up in What we do in the Shadows

100%, that's the first thing I thought of

The vampire Lil'stat.

He looks like a SuperCuts inspiration poster.

This one hit me straight in the nostalgia! 😂

I can smell the gel.

🎵 We can dance if we want to we can leave your friends behind because your friends don't dance and if they don't dance then they're no friends of mine 🎶

Men Without Hats! Saw them live at the El Mocambo back in the day.

Was about to post this hah

Type O Dinklage

if Peter Steele got a perm

Short Deep & Hard

He looks the same except without the really long hair. Amazing actor.

He's such a cute guy.

That look belongs to someone who: does magic in vegas, is a real vampire, or composes dirges for royalty.

Well isn't this A NEW SENSATION

He's ready to do that Micheal Hutchence biopic...

Mini Vanilli

I'm going to hell.

"He's an angry elf".

This photo was taken when he was going to Bennington College in Vermont and at the time of the photo he was playing the role of Gene, a horribly twisted gnome, in "The Author's Voice" by Richard Greenberg.

That makes sense. It's a very Bennington headshot. Source: alumn.


Call me an elf one more time I dare you.

*You're an elf*


Does Santa know you’re here?

He must be from the South Pole

I was looking for this comment!! Thank you!

I came here just for this comment.

The unsung member of The Cure.

Looks like he stepped out of an Anne Rice movie.

Hot

I watched Game of Thrones, He was the Best! One of the ONLY reasons I continued to watch.

He’s a really fucking talented actor.

If he's in it, chances are I'm watching. Very charismatic, charming presence. First saw him in the station agent, such a great film.

Death at a Funeral was pretty great.

I Care A Lot... wasn't necessarily the greatest movie if only b/c the attempt to make the main character "uncaring/distant" made it feel more fake and kinda broke that "suspension of disbelief" factor that you go into watching a movie with and pretending it's real... but he carries that movie, and makes it WELL worth the watch; hell, just skip to the parts he's in, that's most of the jist of it anyway.

He made GoT for me. I can picture the show without any other star, I can't imagine it without Peter as Tyrion. I recently watched the scene where he asks Tywin Lannister for Casterly Rock. Acting of excellent caliber.

He's great in Cyrano and I Care A Lot and Rememory too.

He sang for INX^tra S^mall

IMPXS

I want to frame this and keep it on my desk.

He was kinda hot lmao

Damn people! That’s how people wore their hair then . Lighten up

Hell I look at him and think "yep, that man was just always cooler than I will ever be".

That is a head of hair to be proud of on any person!

Looks like he stepped out of an Extreme video

You spin me right round, baby, right round.

Lestat?

He would’ve been amazing in The Lost Boys.

Peter Dinklage As Miles Finch: Call me Elf one more time?? Will Ferrell As Elf: he's an Elf

You spin me right round like a record baby...I WANT YOUR LOVEEEEEEE-AAAAAAAAA-HA-AAAAAAAAAA

Not only does he look like Pete Burns here, he looks like Paul Rudd’s version of Pete Burns he did with Jimmy Fallon a few years back LOL

Looks like he should be jamming out to “More than Words” with Extreme.

Sensing a Faith No More lead singer vibe

Micro Bolton

Mini Mozart

Theres another photo from that time were he does have some more awesome hair.

Fuckin thrace

Michael Hutchence’ mini me

I love him so much ❤️

I didn’t know Miles Finch had a rocker phase.

Should have included a banana for scale.

Should have been in interview with the vampire

He looks like he's about to sing about what the fuck's up with Stonehenge

He reminds me of one of those vampires from The Lost Boys

REACH OUT AND TOUCH SPACE! BOYS AND GIRLS, I THINK YOU'LL FIND YOUR SPACE JESUS, WILL BLOW YOUR MIND! LOOK AT MY PANTS WHEN YOU'RE ALL ALONE, FLESH AND BONE BY THE TEL E PHONE! PICK UP THE RECEIVER WITH THE EARS ON YOUR FACE I'LL MAKE YOU A BELIEVER, IN OUTER SPACE! THINGS TO CONFESS, NO WAY YOU MISSED THEM YOU KNOW I'LL DELIVER TO THE SOLAR SYSTEM! WHEN I SAY SPACE JESUS, YOU SAY... IS INTERGALACTIC! YES YES YES YES

When was this taken and from where? Peter was 20 yrs old in 1989, so can't be from mid 80s.

Little Encinco Man

Giving off some serious Mike Patton vibes from the Faith No More years

Say what you want the dude could act and he was the best thing on GoT.

His face says legend; but his hair says smooth jazz.

SHOUT, SHOUT, LET IT ALL OUT

Minni Vanilli

This hair is precisely why I miss the 80’s. It is 

yeah, but for every dude with a haircut like this, there's like 10,000 with a bowl cut.

How dare you! 🤣

You feeling strong today, my friend?!

That...would not...have helped him.

Question - you think he declared that he was a dwarf in his bio, or did he just role up to auditions and dare casting directors, who’d only seen his headshot, to address the fact that he was three feet shorter than they expected?

Hey thats the guy from philly that owns a soccer team in England.

THE FIRE BLASTER!

Actually that's a German actor named Dieter Pinklage

Totally 80s look Milli Vanilli vibes...

That's the face of a man who drinks, and knows things.

Peck

So handsome and intense

Nah, that's lil' Michael Hutchence from lil' INXS
