He just made me realize that he's the only character that interacted with almost everyone.

He's an awesome actor!

[thesen]

Ironically enough, he didn't want to play a fantasy character because he likes playing real characters, but he ended up playing one of the realest, and wittiest characters ever.

[sanswift]

I'm not exaggerating when i say
Tyrion's character is one of the most outstanding in history of television

[CadillacJak]

Literally 99% of characters on Game of Thrones were perfectly casted

[peaceful_chaos]

I still cant wrap my head around the fact that he is American. His British accent is just perfect.

[MassMissery]

He should’ve won an award for his acting when his character was put on trial. That was his best season. He did amazing!!

[SavageRealityBeasts]

"Heavy on the dragon, light on the character" welcome to season 8

[SaintMu]

I'll never forget the scene in 7x07 where he confronts Cersei alone, during the summit. Some of the finest acting I've ever seen in a TV series.
I hate most Lannisters, but between Lena Headey, Charles Dance, Peter Dinklage, Nikolaj Coster, Jack Gleeson, damn, they're amazing actors.

Peter Dinklage reminds me of Dr. House.

Peter: “HBO has given us more time with less episodes”.
Stannis: Fewer !

[Sarge]

Tyrion remains my favorite character of the show since the beginning. Peter's performance throughout the show has been superb.

"A small man can cast a very large shadow"
Peter Dinklage doesn't cast shadows. He's a solar eclipse that made the whole cast go dark.

[raemontargaryen]

“the casts remembers”. we need another series “the writers kinda forgot”.

[ImranSahir]

I know it's not going to happen but Tyrion would be the most Just king the realm has ever known.

[Dhruv-Malik]

What a wonderful actor he is, Salute..

[filastyle]

2:19 - Her reaction from messing up the hair-stylist's work! 😂

[daliasaravia]

This show would've have NOTHING without Peter Dinklage's Tyrion. Need i say more?

[CurseTheCosmos]

I feel GOT warmed Peter to genre fiction. His role as Eitri was one of my favorites parts of "Infinity War".

[theinvalidvalid]

In the beginning, when Peter almost declined the role because of his “size” in the fantasy world. That’s pretty much saying midgets are always playing the stereotypical role in fantasy stories and getting made fun of. Good thing this one developed to be the best character in the series.

[jennalogan]

Pure genius right here. I seriously have never met anyone who watches this show or reads the books who does not like Tyrion. Peter did such a superb job with this role. He definitely brought Tyrion to life and I'm gonna miss him.
