Peter Dinklage Biography
Standing four feet five inches tall, actor Peter Dinklage has had a prolific career both on-stage and in film. After graduating from college in Vermont, he studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London and the Welsh School of Music and Drama in Wales. He worked in several productions off-Broadway and wrote his own play entitled +Frog. He made his film debut in Tom DiCillo's 1995 independent comedy Living in Oblivion as the dwarf in the dream sequence. He then appeared in Safe_Men, Bullet, Never_Again, and Just a Kiss before returning to independent comedies. In 2001 he had a substantial role in Michel_Gondry's Human_Nature, written by Charlie_Kaufman. In 2002, he played Binky, the sidekick to the clown Bananas played by Steve_Buscemi in Alexandre_Rockwell's 13_Moons. His first starring film role was in Tom McCarthy's The_Station_Agent as Finbar McBride, a lonely misfit who shacks up in an abandoned railway depot. Also starring Patricia_Clarkson and Bobby_Cannavale, the film won festival acclaim at Sundance. In 2003, Dinklage can be seen in both the Lincoln Center production of +Toulouse Lautrec and the Jon_Favreau holiday comedy Elf starring Will_Ferrell. After a supporting role in The Baxter found Dinklage appearing in one of the year's most off-beat romantic comedies, and the sci fi television series Threshold afforded him the opportunity to appear alongside Star Trek: The Next Generation star Brent Spiner, Dinklage would next share the screen with the most popular canine in film and television history in the 2006 family-oriented adventure Lassie.
