Peter Dinklage on screen and stage

Peter Dinklage is an American actor and producer. Dinklage studied acting at the Bennington College where he starred in a number of amateur stage productions.[1] He made his film debut in the 1995 comedy-drama Living in Oblivion.[2] After appearing in a series of supporting parts in much of the 1990s and early 2000s, he made his breakthrough by starring in the Tom McCarthy-directed comedy-drama The Station Agent (2003), which had him play a railroad-obsessed introvert who inherits an abandoned train depot.[2] He was cast in the role by director Tom McCarthy who recalled fondly his appearance in McCarthy's play The Killing Act (1995).[3] For his performance, he received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Best Actor and an Independent Spirit Awards nomination for Best Male Lead.[4][5] In the same year, Dinklage played the title role in the play Richard III at The Public Theater. He also played a children's book author in the comedy Elf.[6] In 2006, he appeared in the Sidney Lumet-directed crime film Find Me Guilty.[7] He followed with roles in the films Underdog (2007), the British film Death at a Funeral (2007), with its American remake of the same name (2010) and Trumpkin in the high fantasy film The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008).[8][9]
He gained international recognition in 2011 with the HBO fantasy drama series Game of Thrones for his portrayal of Tyrion Lannister.[10] As of 2016, Dinklage has received consecutive Primetime Emmy nominations from 2011 to 2016 including two wins for the role as well as one Golden Globe Award.[11][12] In 2017, Dinklage became one of the highest paid actors on television and earned £2 million per episode of Game of Thrones.[13][14]
Dinklage provided the voice of Captain Gutt in the 2012 computer-animated comedy Ice Age: Continental Drift,[15] which earned over $877 million—his highest grossing release as of 2016.[16] In 2014, he played supervillain Bolivar Trask in the superhero film X-Men: Days of Future Past.[17] The same year, he voiced Ghost in the video game Destiny, but was later replaced by Nolan North.[18] He then starred in the comedy Pixels (2015), The Boss (2016) and the computer-animated comedy The Angry Birds Movie (2016).[19][20][21]
