Peter Dinklage has been tapped for a key role on HBO's Game of Thrones, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The show, which is set in a violent fantasy kingdom, sees an epic struggle for power between the main characters.

The Station Agent star will play Tyrion, the Queen's brother who is treated as an outsider because of his size.

Tom McCarthy, who previously directed The Station Agent, has come aboard to direct Game of Thrones.
