5. Hes Been Working On A Hervé Villechaize Project For Years
On and off, over a period of several years, Dinklage has been developing and co-writing a biopic feature on little person actor Hervé Villechaize (with Dinklage performing in the lead role). Villechaize is perhaps most famous for his role as villainous sidekick Nick Nack in the James Bond thriller The Man With The Golden Gun. He had only a sporadic Hollywood career before tragically committing suicide at the age of 50 after a history of depression and multiple attempts. The role would be an incredible opportunity for Dinklage to stretch his dramatic muscles while paying tribute to a forebearer.
