Peter Dinklage
as Tyrion Lannister
Character Overview: Tyrion Lannister, is Tywin Lannister’s third child, a misshapen dwarf nicknamed “The Imp” and “Halfman”. Though Tyrion shares his father’s talent for political maneuvering, he receives little respect from Tywin because of his deformity, sharp tongue, penchant for whoring, and the death of his mother during his birth. He is capable of cruelty to his enemies, but also has great sympathy for fellow outcasts and the mistreated. – Wikipedia
