"A Lannister always pays his debts."
Actor Peter Dinklage, however, has few debts to pay.
The Jersey-born actor essentially bootstrapped his career, living as a self-described starving artist for years before reaching his "Game of Thrones" success.
Now appearing as the brilliant villain in "X-Men: Days of Future Past," Dinklage ranks among Hollywood's most-wanted actors — and just happens to be a dwarf.
See his meteoric rise to fame.
Peter Dinklage was born to a Morristown, New Jersey, couple in the summer of '69. He said his childhood was "uneventful"— his father sold insurance, and his mother taught music at an elementary school.

His parents never treated him like he was special, Dinklage says, despite being the only dwarf in his family. The chance of being born with achondroplasia, a genetic disorder that causes abnormalities in bone formation, is 1 in 25,000.

The Dinklages didn't even have a TV set in the house — or so he thought. In his teens, Peter discovered his parents watching a black-and-white TV they had purchased and hid in the bedroom closet. "It was 'Three's Company' from then on out," he says.
