Smoldering Hound Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 INSTANT RUNOFF VOTE. ORDER THESE ACTORS/ACTRESSES IN YOUR ORDER OF PREFERENCE IN YOUR REPLY POST. This list has been taken from the official compilation list from this site, which compiled all the suggested choices from the official suggestion threads. If you have suggestions which are not on this list, please post them on the official thread. You may list from one to all of the actors/actresses on this list. You may may make any commentary in your post, but please post only once. Make edits if your opinions change. Here are the choices suggested so far for TYRION LANNISTER, in order of preference based on instant runoff voting from the posts that follow. For a definition of how instant runoff voting works...Read the [url="http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?showtopic=33184"]POLL FAQ[/url]. :) Short version, figure that only the highest name "of the available choices left" counts in your vote list. Then a process is run which reduces available choices one at a time till only one is left. Current as of: FIRST CALCULATION 20 votes [url="http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?s=&showtopic=32521&view=findpost&p=1610516"]Tyrion Lannister[/url] "Tyrion Lannister, the youngest of Lord Tywin's Brood, and by far the ugliest. All that the gods had given Jaime and Cercei they had denied Tyrion. He was a dwarf, half his brother's height...his head was too large for his body, with a brute's squashed-in face beneath a swollen shelf of a brow. One green eye and one black one peered out from under a lank fall of hair so blond it seemed white."

Graegor Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I'm unfamiliar with most of the dwarf actors, so: [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0696015/"]Jordan Prentice[/url] - [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0227759/"]Peter Dinklage[/url] [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001116/"]Warwick Davis[/url] [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0429363/"]Toby Jones[/url] (Tyrion immediately came to mind when I saw him in 'the Painted Veil') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WightMeWorry Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0227759/"]Peter Dinklage[/url] - he has the charisma and charm to make Tyrion likeable, and the acting depth to make you weep for the poor guy. And his height is about right. I should stop there... ok number two... [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0458514/"]Martin Klebba[/url] - his look would work although he is pretty short to be cavorting around with a battleaxe... I've only seen him in POTC... time to see if he can step up the acting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Peter Dinklage. It is going to take an actor of exceptional talent to do justice to Tyrion Lannister. Dinklage is just that. Brilliant, charismatic, and funny. He would win golden globes and emmy's every year. Jordan Prentice is a distant second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fate's Bitch Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Peter Dinklage Jordan Prentice Marin Klebba can be a stand-in and do stuntwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser_not_appearing_yet Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Peter dinklage is the obvious guy, but i doubt whether they can get him. The best we can really hope for is some unknown dwarf actor (or normal actor using doubles?) who turns out to be a revelation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwf1237 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I vote Peter Dinklage but my guess is he will be expensive. Everyone knows he is an exceptional actor, and by far the best actor among dwarfs. and I agree, if he gets the role he would have emmy written all over him. Tyrion's character is so complicated if anyone could pull it off its Dinklage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike the Magnar Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 If any one hasn't seen In Bruges I highly suggest it. Originally I would have voted Dinklage, but his work in that god awful film Prince Caspian has led me to change my choice. Jordan Prentice (from In Bruges), is pretty damn great in it. The only thing Dinklage has over Prentice is a grizzlier look and voice. But Prentice is no Warwick "weiner" Davis. Also, he cavorts with hookers frequently in, In Bruges. P.S.-that is only movie I have seen him in, so he one for one in my book. Also, he played an American in it, and I was unaware of him not being American; so yes, he has the English accent. Prentice.

So one can't be assured of a decent English accent from him if that is what they will be demanding of the actor who plays the T-pup. Warwick Davis Jordan Prentice Peter Dinklage Toby Jones Martin Klebba I'm rather torn between Prentice and Davis after having seen the 'Extra's' clip upthread. I have absolutely no problem with Davis' voice for Tyrion. I never really had a voice for Tyrion while I was reading, but any voice is OK as long as it isn't the fantasy-typical gravely brogue (like Gimli and all the "dwarven" voices they put in the various DnD computer games). For me the less gravely the better, as it is a way to accentuate the point of difference between Tyrion and the "standard" fantasy dwarf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
