pablonohablo Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 At least that appears to be the case according to this site: [url="http://www.geekshow.us/content/television-content/television-news/dinklage-cast-in-hbos-a-game-of-thrones/"]http://www.geekshow.us/content/television-...ame-of-thrones/[/url] Is this true? I very much hope it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxter Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hmmm....interesting find pablonohablo. Of course, it could just be a rumour, especially since no sources are cited by the author of the article. But I hope it's true as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfhand Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 There is a source link at the bottom of the article. The AICN report, which is just a rumor. Why this website reported it like it was a done deal, when even the insider that the rumor stems from said it wasn't set in stone yet is beyond me.

Brude Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Yeah, whoever wrote this blog post apparently didn't notice the question marks in the title of the AICN article they linked at the bottom. The picture of Dinklage wearing the crown and sword I think comes from his role as Richard III he did on stage in New York a few years back (which I saw - he was very good, most of the rest of that production wasn't so good though).

ogbebaba Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I just got done watching Threshold. Peter Dinklage is by far hands down the best choice possible for Tyrion. His character in threshold has a lot of in common with Tyrion brilliant, funny, charismatic, and a weakness for alcohol and hookers Her is an interesting interview with him from when he was doing Threshold.

fitheach Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 This is just speculation, not facts. But if we can have Peter Dinklage as Tyrion- I'm pleased. He is The Hand and more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faceless Man of Braavos Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I was sold on Dinklage before you kindly posted all those clips. Now I'm at the point that I'd actually be bummed if he didn't sign on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimba Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 My only concern is his age. Tyrion is in his mid to late 20s where as Peter is coming up on 40 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I've never seen Dinklage in anything before, so those clips were a bit of a revelation. He seems to have a good range, as those roles all seemed pretty different from one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingthlayer! Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 "neutral american"... hm. Canadian (excluding the stereotypical Torontonian) accents are actually the closest of the english language to the dictionary. Just if anyone wants real neutrality and tolerance, look to the Canucks. But I would prefer mostly english-ish accents, i suppose. Variation would make it interesting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no standard English pronunciation; we don't have an Academy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
