Dinklage, who portrays Tyrion Lannister on HBO’s epic fantasy drama, revealed on Wednesday’s broadcast of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” how he sometimes relieved boredom on set by pulling elaborate jokes.
“I like to pretend I’m dead,” he told host Jimmy Kimmel, before explaining he’d contort himself into “an awkward position” in his trailer for up to eight hours and wait to be found by an unsuspecting producer or wardrobe person.
It prompted Kimmel to recount a similar prank his mother used to play on him, which Dinklage wasn’t so much a fan of.
