A Song Of Naked and Nakeder

.
Everybody always says that Peter Dinklage is perfect to play Tyrion in HBO's adaptation of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire books, and I do think he's the best actor for the part, but I also think they do Dinklage a disservice because he's an attractive dude, while Tyrion's described time and time again as hideous. I assume, especially post-battle, he'll get uglied up with make-up, but still - don't sell Peter Dinklage short! Oh god couldn't resist that, sorry.

Anyway all that has little to do with my real point, which is EW's got a behind-the-scenes piece on A Game of Thrones up and it's got plenty of nifty bite-sized nuggets to enjoy but naturally, the following is what I post:

"I lie naked in furs,” Jason Momoa says of his Genghis Khan-like character [Khal Drago]’s standard operating procedure. “I think I’m naked more than I talk.”

Speaking of good casting.

I agree about Peter. He is SO cute. I've been blown away by him every time I see him on screen (save for that Chris Rock Remake that doesn't exist in my world). I have a hard time casting his as "ugly" as well....
