Peter Dinklage

Peter Dinklage is now a star, according to the New York Times, one of eight actors who turned television into art. And in his youth, he recalled in an interview, had to refuse humiliating offers when the producers openly exploited the appearance. Peter had a clear idea of who he wanted to be.

But such stubbornness left little room to replenish the filmography. At one time, Dinklage was thinking of ending his career. Fortunately, there were new friends, and behind them - invitations to independent cinema. The actor woke up famous after "Station Guardian" and then gained worldwide popularity by playing the role of Tyrion Lannister in the fantasy series "Game of Thrones".

Peter Dinklage was born in Morristown, New Jersey. His father, Jon Karl, was an insurance agent who often went out of work, and his mother Diana worked as a music teacher in elementary school. A year after birth, Peter was diagnosed with achondroplasis (dwarfism), which was expressed disproportionate to the body's development of limbs. Reaching the mark of 135 cm, the height of the actor did not change. The weight froze at 35 kg.

Dinklage gave the first performances to the audience in the form of puppet musicals "with the loudest songs" along with his younger brother Jonathan. My brother grew up and kept his love of music - became a violinist. Only this, according to Peter, saved him from the acting profession.

At Delbarton Elementary School, the future movie star was often attacked by other children. This made the boy introverted, short-tempered and quite aggressive. But as a teenager, going to a high school Catholic, Dinklage learned to treat his appearance with a degree of irony, which influenced the attitude of others. Here he participated in theatrical productions, engaged in an art-drama circle.
