A Game of Thrones movie that made many once unknown actors suddenly popular, whether it was Emilia Clark (Mother of Dragons) or Kit Harrington (Snow), and the most special one was Tyrion Lannister's petite Dinglaki, whose salary also soared to $2.2 million per episode.
In Martin's original book, he described the little devil this way: "When the light poured down, his figure crossed the courtyard, and at this moment Tyrion Lannister stood tall, like a king." And Martin said after watching Peter's performance, "If he hadn't played this role, God, this show would have been over." ”
Looking back at Peter's acting history, an important reason for being a successful actor is that he unabashedly rejects roles that have to be played for fun because of his height, "I just don't want to make me feel dirty when I calm down after a day at work." 」 If I had to play a leprechaun in a beer commercial, I'd rather go back and do my data entry work. I've always done this, 'no' is a very powerful word, and sometimes we should say it. “
Such persistence even made him almost miss out on "Game of Thrones"! When producer David Benioff invited him to play the role of little devil, he told the other side bluntly: "I don't want a role with a long beard and pointy shoes." When the production direction assured him that it was not that kind of role, but a complex character of a womanizer and an alcoholic, neither a hero nor a villain, he agreed to play.
Peter, who only started acting at the age of 29, experienced many ups and downs that ordinary people could not imagine, and he said in a speech: "I generally do not use the word 'difficult', I like to say that the challenge is big or small, in your working environment, you are not willing to accept, do not like the job will feel difficult." 」 Sometimes the whole world may say that you can't do it, you don't even ask, don't even ask, don't insist on arguing with the world that you can do it, and bet the rest of your life to prove it! ”
In "Game of Thrones", this little dwarf who has carried "original sin" from birth finally survived this ruthless power struggle! And Peter Dinrage also carried our expectations of Tyrion Lannister and his own life. Today is the birthday of Peter Dinrage, 1 meter 35 tall, but the acting skills and aura are two meters and eight meters, thanks to him for shaping the perfect three-dimensional little devil!
The long night is coming, go and light up the night!
