Peter Dinklage’s Tyrion Lannister days are way behind him, but after a more serious role in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Dinklage is going back to some more comedic roles with American Dreamer.
Check the trailer out:
The official synopsis for the project reads:
Phil Loder (Peter Dinklage) is a dreamer. Most dreams don’t come true. Phil hates that. As a low-level adjunct professor, his grand dream of owning a home is tragically out of reach…until a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes his way.
Besides Dinklage, the movie also stars Shirley MacLaine, Matt Dillon, and Danny Glover. The movie is also being directed by Paul Dektor, who has worked with Dinklage on Netflix series How to Become a Cult Leader, How to Become a Tyrant, and How to Become a Mob Boss.
You would think that after the role of Tyrion Lannister, Dinklage wouldn’t be able to find any more significant little person roles in the future, but he has somehow managed to land roles that don’t have to depend on his stature and simply rely on his star power as an actor.
I’m still waiting for Dinklage’s next big role in the future, but as for now, I’m just happy to still see him work and really set a new standard when it comes to roles that little people can play in Hollywood projects.
You think he’ll ever be in Star Wars?
American Dreamer officially releases on March 8.
