Samson or The Man From Another Place?


Which character do you like better?

reply

I really enjoyed his role as Samson. Was he ever nominate by any academy for that performance? Everybody fawns over Pedro Dinklater, but Michael is a true inspiration for midgets around the world.

reply

Sadly he was never nominated for a Golden Globe or Emmy.

BTW, his name is Peter Dinklage.

reply

Pedro Almodovar, Richard Linklater and Peter Dinklage got together, adopted a son and named him...

What an awesome sitcom that would make.

Bwahahahahahaha

MFAP.

Such a shame the guy went off the deep end.

reply

What happened to him? How did he go off the deep end? Did he really do something strange, or did he just get "canceled" for some insignificant reason?

What I was referring to in particular was the incident that occurred after he was not asked to appear in "Twin Peaks: The Return," (for lack of funds going to other actors/actresses') he launched into heinous accusations aimed at Lynch. He accuse Lynch of murdering Jack Nance, raping his own daughter, and suggesting that Anderson commit suicide. I don't know about the latter accusation, but the first two would surely have been investigated if there was any merit. So yeah, to me it's going off the deep end.

I've also heard some say he's posted a belief in outrageous conspiracy theories but I've never followed up on that for lack of interest, but if true, would only solidify my sentiment.

Would love to have seen him in The Return. Still bummed a bit that didn't happen.
