At the end of an iconic series, many actors find themselves trapped in a box. That was certainly the case for Peter Dinklage, who chatted about the frustrations after Game of Thrones came to an end.
He reunited with Kit Harington for the first time since the epic fantasy series ended for Variety’s Actors on Actors segment. They both chatted about sobriety, challenges on the set, and challenges after the show came to an end.
Peter Dinklage Found Himself in a Tyrion-Shaped Box
After Game of Thrones, Dinklage shared that the first thing he had to do was get out of the Tyrion-shaped box he found himself in. It’s a frustrating moment for many actors, as they are unable to shake off their most memorable role.
Yet, while it was somewhat frustrating, Dinklage also admits that Tyrion was the best character he had ever played. He shared with Harington that, “You start to try and engineer things to get yourself out of the Tyrion box, because that’s the greatest character I’ve ever played, but you don’t want to go right into doing that more.”
Something that he adored about Tyrion was that the character was a fully realized human, which is very rare on TV, especially in the fantasy genre. He shared that it was a great “eye-opener” for many viewers, but there was some frustration afterward.
He would get offers for more fantasy shows, but he found the characters lacking. The writers had gone back to the types of characters seen before, and it was something he didn’t want to do.
Dealing with the Frustrations After ‘Game of Thrones’
Dinklage decided that he wasn’t going to step back into the roles he once did, admitting that while he had some good roles before Thrones, he also did work that he wasn’t proud of. Now, he’s happy doing work that he is proud of doing.
He worked with a small summer theater in Connecticut at first, which was a group of New York actors just putting on a small performance that was fun to do. Then he went on to work on smaller movies, and he did some of his own projects, saying, “I didn’t really do a heck of a lot. I did a lot of smaller films. I started trying to make my own projects, and I haven’t done something I didn’t want to do since.”
Dinklage is also happy raising his family, sharing that his children have been allowed to watch Game of Thrones this year. His eight-year-old son is a budding author, creating scary stories, with Dinklage saying he’ll be “the next Stephen King.” It’s brought up memories, but it’s also been fun for him to see the show through his children’s eyes, creating a unique experience.
The next thing fans can look forward to is Dinklage in Alien: Earth, which he joined for his son. However, that plan has backfired, as his son is worried about Dinklage ruining his favorite show. Things will likely change when everyone gets to the set!
