Biography: Peter Dinklage is an American actor. He was born in Morristown, New Jersey, USA to a retired insurance salesman and an elementary school music teacher. Both of his parents are average height, as is his brother, John. Dinklage was born with achondroplasia, causing dwarfism. He is a 1987 graduate of Delbarton School and 1991 graduate of Bennington College, Bennington, Vermont. Peter has made a name for himself as a master of both comedic and dramatic performances. He has recently been chosen by director Andrew Adamson for the role of Trumpkin in the 2008 film The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.

Fun Facts:

• He has achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism in which the body is perfectly formed but the bones initially modelled in cartilage, the long bones of the arms and legs, do not grow long enough.

• He is a vegetarian. Anytime you see him eating a meat product on screen, it is a tofu product (such as the tofu "beef" jerky, in The Station Agent).

• He is the son of an elementary school music teacher and retired insurance salesman. Both parents are of normal height, as is older brother, John, a violinist.
