Tyrion Lannister is the greatly intelligent, kind, and troubled black sheep of the Lannister family in Game of Thrones. Peter Dinklage plays the troubled dwarf, who started out in the series as the drunk, sex-hungry child of the great general Tywin Lannister. But throughout the seasons Tyrion's character has developed, making him one of the show’s most loved characters. A constant disappointment to his father, Tyrion continuously used his brain and strategic mind to prove himself. He killed his father and fled, and is now paired with Khaleesi, serving as her adviser.

Dinklage does a brilliant job of portraying a troubled, scarred, broken character who has battled against the world and his family since his birth, due to his appearance and size. He is kind and strong, and fans adore him. To the show’s creators- please don’t kill him too!

I like to think of myself as a world traveler and social butterfly, although I do spend a lot of my time watching the latest Japanese anime series, sitcoms, movies, and drama series. I live on the island of Crete, where I was born, and enjoy walking on the beach with my little cocker spaniel, Molly, when I'm not writing for WhatCulture.com and UNILAD.co.uk.
