You'll Never Believe How These Legendary Actors Got Discovered

Peter Dinklage

Before Dinklage became Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones, he was just a normal guy who worked an office job. He liked to party with his pals, and he was the frontman of a punk band called Whizzy. He used to work 9-5 and hit the bars right afterward, somewhat similar to his character in Game of Thrones.
