Even though many of the characters didn't end up surviving the entire run of the show, Game of Thrones' mix of established actors and new faces has made its core cast into household names across the entire world. In fact, you may not realize just how many times you've seen them. As Tyrion Lannister, veteran American actor Peter Dinklage has turned out years of impressive, deeply emotional, and funny performances, winning three Emmys for the role. Tyrion's biting wit, political wherewithal, and surprisingly generous heart make him one of the most complicated and fascinating characters on television. Thanks to Dinklage's layered portrayal, he has become one of the show's most beloved characters.
Dinklage was already well-known before he was cast on Thrones, with his breakthrough role coming in The Station Agent in 2003. His film career has only flourished since, with appearances in comedies like Elf and dramatic roles in everything from Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri to Avengers: Infinity War.
The world almost missed out on Dinklage's performance on Thrones because he promised to himself to never take cliché "magical dwarf" roles. However, creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, with some help from author George R.R. Martin, eventually convinced Dinklage, the first and only contender for the part, to sign on.
