Huffington Post: Female Archetypes in Game Of Thrones

[FloridaJudy]

16. I LOVE Tyrion.

But then, like him, I have a fondness for bastards and broken things.

When I first heard they were filming Fire and Ice, I wondered who on earth they would cast as Tyrion. It can't be easy finding an actor who meets the physical requirements. But Dinklage is absolutely perfect.

I also worried about Brienne. It's not easy finding an actress who physically fits the part, and I was gobstruck when they cast a fashion model in the role. But she uglied up good, and can act as well! I guess if they can make Helen Mirren look like Queen Elizabeth, they can do almost anything with make-up.
