Game of Thrones was one of the best shows of the century, no doubt, and time and time again it proves that in various polls. There were several characters on the show that grew up to be household names, and Tyrion Lannister has to be up on that list. Peter Dinklage breathed life into that character, there’s no one in the world we can even imagine, besides him, of course, playing Tyrion Lannister, he’s become synonymous with the role. And quite frankly, Dinklage misses playing his iconic persona, which brought him so much fame and fortune. Furthermore, he has high hopes with the Game of Thrones prequel House of The Dragon.
Dinklage was a recent guest on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast, where the duo talked about his life and career before landing his famous Thrones character. Maron admitted he never watched the show as he’s “not a fantasy guy.” However, he told Dinklage he was aware of how much people loved the show (except the last season) and his character, Tyrion. Dinklage pointed out how polarizing the final season was, which he claimed was fans “not wanting to say goodbye to it,” finally getting on the topic of House of the Dragon.
“I have an opinion,” Dinklage said, “I think it is going to be a really good show. The director and producer of it worked on our show, and I think it’s going to be really fucking good. But they took a risk on our show, HBO did. They took a huge risk on our show. It was a slow start, but why don’t they do that again? This isn’t a risk. It’s a proven thing that works.”
