Rest on his celebrity laurels? Not this Gemini!

Most people know Peter Dinklage from his star turn as the sardonic Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones. But he made his mark in Steven Buscemi's Living in Oblivion in 1995, and The Station Agent, which won the Audience Award at Sundance in 2003.

His success came after years of struggle and searching for roles that weren't elves or leprechauns. This Gemini gives credit for the success he's enjoying now to good friends - but not luck.

"Saying I was lucky negates the hard work I put in," he said. "I'm fortunate enough to find or attract very talented people. For some reason I found them, and they found me."
