between 2011 and 2019, dinklage portrayed tyrion lannister in hbo's fantasy drama "game of thrones", an adaptation of author george r. r. martin's "a song of ice and fire" novels. "game of thrones" takes place on the fictional continents of westeros and essos and chronicles the power struggles among noble families as they fight for control of the iron throne of the seven kingdoms. tyrion is a member of house lannister, one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in westeros, and uses his status as a lannister to mitigate the impact of the marginalization and derision he has received all of his life. in may 2009, he was the first actor to be cast, as showrunners david benioff and d. b. weiss noted that dinklage, whom they described as funny, smart and witty, was their first choice for the role, as the actor's "core of humanity, covered by a shell of sardonic dry wit, is pretty well in keeping with the character." unfamiliar with the source material, dinklage was cautious in his first meeting with the producers; as a dwarf, "he wouldn't play elves or leprechauns" and was choosy about genre roles. benioff and weiss told dinklage that the character was "a different kind of fantasy little person," or in the actor's words, "no beard, no pointy shoes, a romantic, real human being." dinklage signed on to play tyrion before the meeting was half over, in part because, he said, "they told me how popular he was." martin said of dinklage's casting, "if he hadn't accepted the part, oh, boy, i don't know what we would have done." the series proved to be a commercial success; it was renewed for multiple seasons and concluded with its eighth season in may 2019.
