- The famously private "Game of Thrones" star talks with "60 Minutes" correspondent Lesley Stahl about a new film adaptation of the play "Cyrano de Bergerac," featuring Dinklage as the ghostwriter of love letters wooing the beautiful Roxanne. Stahl also talks with "Cyrano" screenwriter Erica Schmidt (Dinklage's wife); and with director Joe Wright, who reveals how the period romance almost devolved into a disaster movie while shooting near a suddenly-active volcano.

That is a great point about actors' public lives impacting how we see their performances. The less we know, the better.
I totally agree. I have zero desire to immerse my life into the lives of someone who just happens to be a celebrity. TBH...Who cares when they go shopping, who they are dating/married to, how old their children are, where they live, what they eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, where the go on vacation or even how they worship/not. The actresses and actors I enjoy watching perform, via screen, stage or on TV are far more valued in my eyes for the complexity and creativity they give to the characters they portray above anything else.
That happens more often than I'd like. Some actors can't shut themselves off and we see their personality come through. Some actors like Tom Hanks, performs, and though most of us Know his "personal" side, he manages to come off so strong that we forget! But, now and then, I regret seeing a performer being open to the public eye. Like with "Lincoln". The Internet wasn't always the main avenue for celebrity coverage. Even though Daniel Day Lewis did give interviews throughout his career, I didn't much go out of my way to pay attention, until "Lincoln"! Daniel couldn't be Farther from his portrayal and this proves he has tremendous talent. But, at the same time, I now think a bit more about Daniel than Abe, when I watch that movie.
I thought the same thing.
Exact reason why I cannot look at Tom Hiddleston the same since seeing him in a “I ❤️ T.S.” tank top. I. Just. Cannot. Unsee. That.
Arguably ...I think what made Robert Downey Jr's portray of Ironman so compelling was how similar his own backstory was to Tony Stark's.
Cyrano was a delight to watch, and I wish that cinema of that level of depth would get more publicity and revenue. That movie spoke to me as an anxious person, and I saw a lot of myself in Peter Dinklage's portrayal. You could tell that in this version of Cyrano, he was more afraid of his heart and openness than he was his looks.
Shame on Leslie Stahl. This was one of the worst interviews ever. You get an opp to interview a great talent like Dinklage who normally avoids it, and you feed into exactly what he prob doesn't appreciate about them-spending a good amount asking about his physical difference and questioning his honesty during the interview?! Also, I agree w/him about actors over exposing themselves.
I agree. This did not seem like a usual Sunday Morning interview but more like a gossipy interview. I would like to see a do over.
Terrible interviewer.
Horrendous interview. Stahl is awful. Peter knew what was happening during her tabloid interview hence his side glances. I hope he never grants her another!
How wonderful to listen to someone who is so intelligent and articulate.
Bravo, Peter Dinklage.
His voice is incredible. I hope he does voice overs
He plays in Ice Age 4 ' Captain Gut'
He's done a few in video games too. He's been amazing!
I LOVE his voice soooo intoxicating
I had a conductor that I greatly admired. He was so fantastic. Finally I got the courage to walk up to him after a concert to thank him. I didn’t realize that he was shorter than me until that moment. For me he was larger than life! Peter is one of those people. They captivate so well that you see them as one that can fill the room💝
He’s a handsome guy.
No one has brought out more emotions in me with thier acting than this man.
I think you should watch more movies and shows.
I wish we lived in a world where he didn't feel like he had to flip the reason people stare. He's such a fine actor!
The thing is the people that matter don't stare and the people that stare don't matter.
I completely agree with his opening statement. as an audience member, for me personally, not knowing the actor is great because it allows me to enjoy the character(s) they portray. It takes away that feeling you get when you see an actor in another role and it takes time to adjust because you're used to them being and acting a certain way. plus it allows them to be people and live normal lives as they should be allowed to. when I know an actors personal life too much then that is all I can see, unless they're a damned good actor who can just take you into that character.
I wasn't into GoT, but I was hooked on Peter Dinklage after The Station Agent. I'll watch him in anything.
Honestly, no actor can portray such unique characters like Dinklage. He seems to be at his strongest when playing individuals of a high intellectual level as we saw with Tyrian and now Cyrano and it seems to be his greatest strength.
Peter has such a soothing low voice. He should also do voiceovers if he doesn’t already.
He has an awesome voice!
I love Peter. He’s clearly intelligent, endlessly charming, remarkably talented and just likable to the core. Sorry Peter if you don’t like to be approached, but if I ever see you I’m afraid I’ll be compelled to walk up, briefly and discretely introduce myself, and quickly convey how much joy I take in watching you in your roles before I apologize for the inconvenience and quickly move along.
Geeze i forget how deep his voice can go. Him and his wife are spectacular
“So you refused to play an elf or a leprechaun…”
Really, Lady?! 🤦🏾♀️ I can see why he was dodging this interview 😐🙄
Stahl was cringeworthy! I hope he never grants her another.
That was lovely. A great actor indeed.
He is such a handsome man. I hope, should he ever walk by me on the street, he will understand that is what draws my glance.
LOVED him on SNL with Leslie Jones!
I Love this guy! I believe I've seen everything he has been in. He is intense but soft at the same time. He can play such different characters. Wonderful actor!
Fun fact, he comes from an immensely talented family. His brother is a world-class violinist who performs in the orchestra for the musical Hamilton.
Is he as handsome as Peter?
I enjoy Peter Dinklage's performances. Bravo !
Loved that closing smile!
Ugh. What a man and what an actor… 🙌🏻
He should be nominated for an Oscar!
The interviewer should get over it...this guy's going to be legend (and I haven't even watched thrones) Cant wait for Cyrano! His wife is brilliant as well!
First film I saw him in was the British Death At A Funeral. I was hooked, ever since.
He’s incredibly charming, good looking and smart. He really is the total package.
I have always found him so sexy and captivating as an actor. His talent is evident whatever he plays . Thank you for this little insight 👏🏻👏🏻❤️
I saw this done three years ago offBroadway with Peter and Jasmine Cephas Jones as Roxane. This is my biggest flex.
Now you know why he has not given interviews...all they focus on is his size.
I have a big crush on Peter Dinklage! 🥰😍🤩
What a charming guy! Very talented. Very likable!
The more interviews I see him in, the more I love this guy.
The best of GOT. He'll probably get an Oscar for this, although nobody will see it, but no one watches the Oscars anymore either
The smiles at the end....beautiful.
Amazing artist. A living legend to his craft. An extraordinary actor.
Always found him gorgeous.Beyond.
Such an incredible actor. And we are lucky to watch him. Fun interview.
Why does his dwarfism matter?
Focus on his abilities, talent, ect.
Agree completely!
Loved that look in his eye at the end of the interview... Mischievous!😁
I admire the respect he has for himself.
I think "humble" when I hear "insecurity." Am I good enough? No. Some would say I am. I feel I am good as often as I am able. It literally took me decades to just be able to say, "Thank you, that's is so nice of you to tell me" when someone complimented me on my singing. And it happened a lot, these strangers coming up and thanking me for singing, telling me how good they believe my singing is. Because before I understood that a stranger going up to another stranger and telling them something good is a most wonderful gift that they are presenting you, all smiling faces and shining eyes, a gift from their heart.
But I would waste all their time pointing out every flaw in what I'd just done. Even to the point of telling them, "The drunker you are, the better I sound," which is saying, as I see it now, that they're not talented enough to understand just how bad I sounded. Taking their gift of compliment and turning it into a way to vent my insecurity. So insecure or humble? Can these two things be the same thing? A good thing? False humility is ugly. True humility involves insecurity about your "gift." I've lost my singing voice in my head, but the very last time I sang in public people were throwing compliments to me, like being blown kisses and just being so grateful that something which has brought so much joy and much-needed emotional expression to my life had made other people happy.
Peter Dinklage is my Robin Williams, my Jeff Daniels, my Tommy Lee Jones. An actor I will always want to watch act. They never have disappointed me.
....and then she pushed "COMMENT"
We need the dislike count back. Her questions are ignorant. It's so uncomfortable.
As a fellow artist, much respect
Oh that mischievous grin at the very end.
Why did that sound like a dis to Steve Martin's memorable "Roxanne" portrayal? Probably unintended, but, hey, you could have pointed out it was a critical and box office hit and one of his best films.
Peter Dinklage inspires me as an actor. His height and mine are similar. I love the play too.
That final LOOK ... he is cheeky. 😁
"Differently abled" The very words I use to describe myself. I like that they are inclusive words rather than limiting ones like disabled or handicapped.
I love how much he hates this interview.
I've read a few reviews... critics who focus on the "politically correct" issues of the film, and NOT on the protagonist's exceptional talent just drive me nuts! Peter Dinklage in a SUPERB ACTOR. Full stop.🌟
Was this journalist really rude with her questions or is it me? She can ask so many things, you ask all this BS? Really?
What a bizarre interview. The questions were terrible; very shallow and with an air of ableism. Boo. Peter is such an amazing actor and complex person, he deserved a better interview.
I love Peter in everything he does! I would love to meet him in person
I was working on set in Boston . I was coming back to set from having lunch . I passed him very close , I think he was heading to camp for lunch as well . I looked at him and he looked at me . That was our exchange 😂 , I am glad I didn’t watch game throne so I wasn’t so impressed by him . He does have a star like presence . I worked as a stunt woman in underdog in 2005. He had a role in it but we never crossed path . I am glad the second time I saw him I was very close but I am never too keen in asking for photos.
the theater scene should have this:
cyrano: "all these dwarf jokes that mesieur viscount can hurl at me and still you fall short?"
I don't see this on the Oscars! Best Picture best Actor!
Totally unhappy it was not dominated. I love this! So very beautiful!
Great Interview, Great Man
Love him so much. What a great human and actor. Human most!
Fantastic talent
I want him to read stories on the app Calm so I can listen to his ever so rich voice at night, sigh 😌
He is an incredible actor
I always thought he was British because of GoT. He's that good.
The Brits ripped him because they thought his accent was rubbish.
With everything going on in the world, I feel guilty looking forward to his performance but I hope he wins an award.
I just LOVE that look and smile of Peter at the end!!!!!❤️
🌿🌿🌿❤️🌿🌿🌿
Peter Dinklage: is very private and doesn't like to focus on his height
Interviewer: well guess what every question is going to be about!
Edit: Specially upset because the rest of the video makes it clear this was a very interesting production, I'm genuinely disappointed she didn't ask more about Dinklage's Cyrano
Shame on you Lesley Stahl! You rudely squandered your opportunity to interview one of the great actors and narrowly focused on his height instead of his craft.
lesley: game of thrones---
peter: OOF
I felt that
I love this interview. I have the up most respect for Peter. I'd love to hear more but I respect his point of view about being private. Thank you for doing this interview!
Horrible interviewer. She was obsessed with his height. He’s a great actor and human being. He’s been in so many things and she kept bringing up his height. He starred in a wonderful movie called The Station Agent. Could have brought up a lot of the roles he has done. Interviewers get fixated on physical aspects of people, height, skin color, looks instead of the person’s character. There’s an interviewer on this same show who asked Lyle Lovett how he got Julia Roberts to marry him since she was beautiful and he was ugly. The interview style is terrible.
If anyone gets a chance, watch The Station Agent, the first time I saw him on film, and I was very impressed.
Very intelligent and insightful. I would love to have a drink or two with him and just talk. Cool guy.
Peter rocks!
Interestingly, the name Peter means "rock" 🪨 !
This was a great piece.
Love his grin.
Fellow Delbarton alumnus. I’m a big fan of Peter. He graduated high school five years after me but I wish I knew him then or now. He’s a true talent.

Geez Leslie, relax.
Awesome Actor!
Wow! What a charming and intelligent man. With his side looks and smile when conversing, you have got to say he is sexy.
PD: "The more you know about an actor's personal life, you see it on screen when they're playing a character."
LS: "Get over it, that's how it is."
LATER
LS: "Your wife said she didn't write the play with you in mind. But I wonder if she did subliminally because it fits you so perfectly."
SEE LESLIE, HE TRIED TO TELL YOU.
This guy literally has the best fake English accent I’ve ever heard
I respect and adore this man so much! Fearless and Woke Pioneer taking what he has and sharing it with those who do to create fellowship and then to those who do not to create unison. Classic Peter.
When it starts with a spoiler for game of thrones
I don't get the comments against Leslie Stahl. I think she did a good job with the interview, and I think that Peter enjoyed it. I watched it twice to be sure I didn't miss something. He was so danged charming, especially that twinkle in his eye at the very end. I doubt he would have expected her to soft-soap him, nor would he have wanted that. I will say that I had no idea that he was from New Jersey - thought he was British through and through. I love that his wife was also interviewed, and she shared the story of his walking his dog. Fun!
Truly a sexy and charmingly articulate man.
She asked him all the wrong questions. I wanted to know more about what he thought about his role as Cyrano.
When she said he seems like he’s acting in the interview that was inappropriate and rude. She also came off as extremely disingenuous. This type of interview format is super outdated. I hope he was paid well for this.
CBS, Apparently, all of your videos are without closed captions. How could you go this low, CBS? TWO THUMBS DOWN!!!
This lady doesn’t always play nice with her interviewee. I can’t say I appreciate her when she clearly has an agenda
"This lady"? You mean, Leslie Stahl, the seriously acclaimed reporter alongside Mike Wallace, Morley Safer, and Dan Rather on 60 Minutes for over 40 years!? She's no everyday, run of the mill interviewer. Shes interviewed kings and queens, presidents, the Pope, dictators, and some of the most important and controversial stories of our time. Believe me, she's earned her place.
Greatest living actor in our time.
It seemed like a good idea at the time. LOL!
I hope he worked the volcano into the movie.
It's an interesting point about knowing too much about an artist. Artists draw from their own lives so much in order to produce art that connects, but at what point does it become difficult to separate art from an artist (under good, not bad circumstances) and at what point do people start to imagine that they're just "playing themselves" instead of drawing from personal experience or emotional memory?
After this horrible interview I'm starting to wonder if Lesley Stahl is "balanced".
I can't help but have a crush on him!😍
That was awkward. This story is perfect for you? I feel like Peter would know what story fits him and which don't.
Thank you for this. Really appreciate it for putting all the interviews together.
There's a movie called Taxi/ or Night ride depending on platform.....freaking great...go watch it ..one of his best.
It was very insulting of her to ask him if he was acting at the end of the interview. Rude and classless.
