Peter Dinklage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Dinklage (born June 11, 1969) is an American actor.
His "break out" role is generally deemed to be The Station Agent. Although it was a small independent film, it was widely praised by critics and Dinklage's performance gained some note. He also had a small role in Jon Favreau's Elf as a pretentious children's author who beats up Will Ferrell's character after he is (unintentionally) insulted. In 2005, Dinklage starred in the short-lived CBS science fiction series Threshold.
Recently, he appeared in Sidney Lumet's latest courtroom drama, Find Me Guilty (2006), opposite Vin Diesel, and in episodes of Nip/Tuck. He also made a cameo appearance on HBO's show Entourage.
Dinklage was born in Morristown, New Jersey, USA. He is a 1987 graduate of Delbarton School and 1991 graduate of Bennington College, Bennington, Vermont. Dinklage's dwarfism is caused by Achondroplasia. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
