I'll never understand why Peter Dinklage gets so much praise for hamming it up while consistently great actors like Charles Dance, Alfie Allen, Michelle Fairley, Conleth Hill, Liam Cunningham, Rory McCann, Lena Headey, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau give nuanced, subtle, yet compelling performances every time out.
Not trying to shit on Dinklage completely. He's usually good, but he definitely goes over the top sometimes(the trial) and his accent has been terrible since day one.
