Perhaps you have heard of Peter Dinklage from the roles he has played in popular TV series such as Game of Thrones (《权利的游戏》). But few know of the man behind the character and his story. His life    75    that a little body can have huge energy.
The famous actor, who earned three Emmy awards and a Golden Globe award, is just 135 cm tall. His father, mother and brother look like    76    people. But Dinklage has been different from the others since his childhood. The boy was born with a common form of dwarfism (侏儒症). As a result, Peter’s legs and arms stopped growing, while his head continued becoming bigger.
There’s no doubt that Dinklage’s look was a source of trouble at first. The boy was    77   and bullied (欺负) by other kids. He felt lonely but he didn’t look down upon himself. When he was in the sixth grade, he played his first role in a school play. He was pleased by the audience’s    78    to the show. So he decided to become an actor in the future.
After he graduated from high school, Dinklage entered Bennington College, where he studied performing arts. He    79    met several special teachers and friends who managed to help him turn his unusual look into advantage there, which made him unique (独特的). Since then, he has acted in lots of famous films and TV series.
Dinktlage has been looked as a rote model for people with dwarfism. When Dinktage was asked in 2012 whether he saw himself as a spokesman (代言人) for the    80    of little people, he said, “Everyone’s different. Every person’s size has a different life, a different history, and different ways of dealing with it. My size doesn’t define (下定义) me. It’s just part of who I am.”
