He's the best thing on Game of Thrones.

Agreed him Bean and the little girl who plays Arya are the best actors in the series hands down.
Some of the older minor role Brit actors are good too.
Worst is the dude that plays the tribal warlord AWFUL! -

Good thing they killed him off. Lou Ferrigno could have "acted" that part better. The Khal had a great look for a 3/4-savage horseman king, but far as I could see, his expression was locked onto his face with Crazy Glue. For all his size, this guy couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. He might have raised an eyebrow once that's about the limit of his ability. Actually, his cameo in the last episode showed (remarkably) some warmth. I wish he had shown us some of that spark in all the preceding episodes, but it just wasn't there.

It actually seemed to me that Jason Momoa played the role of Khal Drogo perfectly. I just finished re-reading the first book, and the only time he showed any emotion was while "crowning" Viserys and proclaiming to Daenerys that their son shall sit the Iron Throne. Even after the battle that ended up killing him, he barely showed any emotion. So, Jason Mamoa actually added to the character, At least in my opinion.

Yeah. A lot of credit goes to the author of the books on that score though. Reading the books many years ago Tyrion and 1354Arya were definitely the best characters. Tyrion is probably one of my favorite characters of all time. I was worried when they cast Dinklage in the role (too good looking) but he's definitely made the character his own.

So true. My favorite character - and an amazing actor. I'm so glad to see one of the little people (politically correct!) get a great acting gig. Far too often its always the comedy rolls. So nice to see a intelligent well written part.

Never before in any film I have seen has a man so short in stature cast such a large shadow. Peter is simply amazing on Game of Thrones. He commands the screen.
He raises a great show to new heights. Bravo!! -

I have to assume someone is writing at least some of those great lines for him, but the way he plays them makes all the difference. The sarcastic attitude, the absolute reality of the way he sees life, his genuine goodness (which he tries so hard to cover) our Peter is doing a SPLENDID job.

"I have to assume someone is writing at least some of those great lines for him, but the way he plays them makes all the difference. "
This show is based on the A Song Of Ice And Fire books. His character was already completely fleshed out before he took the role. Sure Benioff and Weiss probably tailor some the dialogue to suit Dinklage's Tyrion, but the source material for this character is incomparable. George R.R. Martin has written all of these characters so unbelievably well.
I completely agree that Peter Dinklage is by far the best part of this show the credit for how great of a character Tyrion is belongs to Martin. While his physicality is different from the books the his tone, behavior, and mannerisms couldn't be better. If any of you haven't read the books, you should. -

He's sure got the personality to play Tyrion, doesn't he?
That being said, he's too good looking to be the Tyrion of the books.
But could he be such a popular character on the TV series if he wasn't flat out handsome?
