Peter Hayden Dinklage started his acting career on stage before making his movie debut with ‘Living in Oblivion’ in 1995. While Peter lives with a common form of dwarfism, he is known to refuse roles that stereotype his condition. He gained recognition for his work in various films such as ‘The Station Agent’ and ‘Death at a Funeral.’ However, it is his turn as Tyrion Lannister in the HBO show ‘Game of Thrones‘ in 2011 that etched him on the map as well as earned him much critical acclaim. He continued his work on the big screen in more prominent roles, with films like ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past,’ ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,’ and ‘My Dinner with Hervé.’ If you are in search of projects featuring Peter Dinklage on Netflix, the following list is sure to help.
