Peter Dinklage has a common form of dwarfism, so when he was first asked to play elves or leprechauns, he said he didn’t want to. But in 1995, in a comedy-drama called “Living in Oblivion,” he made his first real movie appearance. In 2003, he broke through when he played Finbar Mcbride in the movie “The Station Agent.”

He played Tyrion Lannister on the HBO fantasy show Games of Thrones from 2011 to 2019. Fans and critics alike praised him for his great performance, and he became well-known all over the world.
