Without Peter Dinklage’s brilliance, Game of Thrones would have been a very different program. His portrayal of fan favorite Tyrion Lannister, the super-intelligent puppeteer, made the actor a household figure. He has overcome hardship and discrimination to establish himself as one of the world’s best and most well-known actors. As Kevin Bacon’s co-star in the upcoming film The Toxic Avenger, he will hopefully reprise his role as Cyrano in the theatre before bringing the project to the big screen. Check out these nine of Peter Dinklage’s most essential films to see how he has portrayed various roles in various genres.
I Care A Lot
Marla Grayson, who preys on the aged, earns a living by persuading the courts to give her custody over as many helpless individuals as possible. The victims spend the remainder of their high on drugs lives inside the confines of a care home as she sells off their estates. Jennifer Peterson is alone; her most recent victim (is Dianne Wiest). The Russian mobster Roman Lunyov, who is secretly the mom of Jennifer Peterson, will not take kindly to the news of his mother’s “legal” kidnapping because Jennifer Peterson is not as defenseless as the other elderly detainees, and her identity is phony.
Death At A Funeral
All Aaron wishes to deliver a eulogy to his family and friends who are gathered in the family house in memory of his deceased father. Aaron does his best even though everyone would rather have his more famous brother, Ryan, offer the eulogy. During the eulogy break, an uninvited guest named Frank (Peter Dinklage) drops a bombshell, revealing that he is Aaron’s father’s lover and intends to blackmail the family. Funerals can be particularly difficult for Aaron. The sarcastic black comedy Death at a Funeral transforms a peaceful, solemn occasion into a situation farce with absurd results—crude, ironic, and displaying an unrepentant sense of fashion for crude humor.
Cyrano
Roxanne (Haley Bennett), a wealthy but sexy woman, desires a marriage exclusively for love and not for gain. She develops feelings for Christian de Neuvillette the moment she sees him at the opera. To meet Christian, Roxanne begs her childhood friend Cyrano de Bergerac (Dinklage), who is deeply in love with her, to arrange it. However, Cyrano soon realizes that Christian lacks all the necessary qualities to win Roxanne over. For Christian to claim the poetic tropes of love as his own, Cyrano starts to write them. Christian realizes that Cyrano was penning the words for him when the envious Duke De Guiche (Ben Mendelsohn) intervenes and orders both men to battle. When will Roxanne learn the truth?
Living In Oblivion
A first-time feature film is being produced by independent filmmaker Nick Reve (Steve Buscemi). He won’t even replace a prop carton of sour milk because the budget is tight, and nothing appears to be working out. On-set tension was caused by the two leads, Nicole (Catherine Keener) and Chad Palomino (James LeGros), who had slept together. Nick tries to maintain his sanity and prevent his bank account from becoming dry before the film is finished as Tito (Peter Dinklage) gripes about the clichés surrounding dwarfs. Hollywood is that! According to the movie we’re watching, the style of the film switches from color to monochrome, which is relatively calm. A satirical view of the production of a film, no matter how violent.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Mildred Hayes (Frances McDormand) believes that her local police force, mainly its Chief, Bill Willoughby (Woody Harrelson), isn’t doing enough to find the murderer after her daughter was raped and killed. She rents three billboards to vent her rage about the continuing probe that has nearly been forgotten. Despite the Chief’s perception that Mildred’s acts are good, he feels they are too personal, and his racist subordinate, Officer Jason Dixon (Sam Rockwell), views Mildred as the enemy. Local car salesman James (Peter Dinklage) develops feelings for Mildred, but his feelings are misplaced and unrequited. Can Mildred ever feel human again in this community of resentment, hatred, and retaliation, and can her teenage daughter ever receive justice?
