Just came in here to see what other movies he is in. Yes, I really adore this actor, absolutely amazing acting (and adorable!).

Yeah I couldn't agree more. I had read the first book before seeing the 1st season and I had some thoughts on the perfect casting for a couple of guys and they nailed three of em righ of the bat. Peter as Tyrion, Charles Dance as Tywin, and Sean Bean as Eddard. Also I think Aiden Gillen is awesome as Littlefinger.

Unsurprising. Tyrion is the best thing about the books as well.
I agree
Although I don't like him as much after
he finds out about Tysha, then he kinda loses his spirit.

Unsurprising. Tyrion is the best thing about the books as well.

eeerm Dungeons and Dragons is a tabletop game, with books, pens, paper and loads of dices (4 sided, 6 sided, 8 sided, 10 sided, 12 sided and 20 sided).
sure there are video games that take place in the universe created for Dungeons and Dragons (Icewind Dale, Baldur's gate etc) but there's no video game called "Dungeons and Dragons" there are very weird badly made movies about D'n'D though

don't worry, there's still people that play dungeons and dragons pen and paper style
plu5b4s there isn't a dungeons and dragon's game per se, just a bunch of games that take place in Faerun and use the system from 3.5 (Icewind dale 1&2, Baldur's gate 1&2 Neverwinter nights 1&2 etc)

It's fairly common for people who don't know what they are talking about to assume D&D is a computer game.

Sucks, doesn't it?

"I don't play Dungeons 'n' Dragons (nor any other computer game, for that matter)"
Oh my God I'm officially OLD!
(back in my day, we played Dungeons and Dragons with books and dice and we LIKED it!)

I'm not a reader of fantasy fiction, but picked this up for my Kobo because (a) I had heard great things about it; and (b) it was $14.00 for the four book set - thousands of pages, so you definitely get your money's worth. Anyway, I am hooked. The books are fantastic and I will be buying this show as the seasons become available on DVD (don't have cable). That is how much I love these fantastic books.
Boo hoo hoo, there's girls on my show. I'm taking my balls and going home.

I had thought (from someone else's post) that in the books, Tyrion was NOT a dwarf. My bad. As to the genre, perhaps I should have said "fantasy," but that has a much wider range of possibilities. I don't play Dungeons 'n' Dragons (nor any other computer game, for that matter), and merely used that term to describe the medieval/"Dark Ages" time-frame. As you describe the Tyrion of the books, it sounds like Mr. Martin has done a great job of writing him in the teleplays, and Peter is playing him to the hilt (even if he is WAY too good-looking).
"I'm only in Show Biz by injection"

Depends on what you mean by "wrong". He has his sins like everybody else. Phyically he is a dwarf born in a world where more often than not you are left to die. Tyrion was lucky to born into the richest family in Westeros so he was able to live and he was rich. But he was never treated by his family, other than Jaime, with love or respect. His facial features were uglier in the books. but along with being very smart and witty he was also quite heroic and brave, when circumstance suited.
I do think it is an error for you to classify A Song of Ice and Fire as "dungeons 'n' dragon's" genre. Granted I haven't played DnD but ASOIAF is a rich character study above anything else. I don't read a lot of fantasy, but these are some of the best books I have ever read. The third book, A Storm of Storms (which I believe will be broken down into seasons 3 and 4) is practically perfect.
