Peter Dinklage - best known for playing Tyrion in Game of Thrones, he's also been in Cyrano, Chronicles of Narnia: Price Caspian, I Think We're Alone Now and others. He's 4ft 5 in, and currently working on the Hunger Games prequel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. The thing I like about this guy is he's avoided typecasting. Do you feel short actors are cast in rather stereotypical roles just because of their size?
