1. Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones)
In just a few years, he got everyone to agree. With his role, initially very thankless, in Game Of Thrones, he proved that he was an exceptional actor. For those who don’t know him, he brilliantly plays Tyrion Lannister, the rejected son of a large part of his family, precisely because he is a dwarf. His character will prove to us that he is much more intelligent than all those who criticize him.
