The famously private 'Game of Thrones' star talks about a new film adaptation of the play 'Cyrano de Bergerac,' featuring Dinklage as the ghostwriter of love letters wooing the beautiful Roxanne.

That was the cliffhanger finale of the film shoot in Sicily, but our story really began calmly in Connecticut, three years ago, with Goodspeed Musicals. Two days after wrapping"Game of Thrones," Dinklage started rehearsals on the musical version of"Cyrano." Erica Schmidt, an award-winning dramatist , wrote and directed the stage adaptation.

Joe Wright came to see the play; his girlfriend, Haley Bennett, starred as Roxanne on the stage as well as in the movie. He asked Schmidt to write the screenplay. Some scenes are taken almost directly from the play."The last act is almost word-for-word," said Schmidt. Stahl said,"You had a rule, it is said, that you wouldn't play Santa's elves, and you wouldn't play a leprechaun?"who had complexity and, like – but, no!"

Schmidt said,"We lived in Chelsea for a while, and we had a dog, a very big dog that had to be walked a lot. And this was probably season three of 'Thrones.' And he started walking down the street, and all of these people came – I don't know where they were coming from, from the restaurants – and it was, like, 30 people, you know, 'Peter! Peter! Tyrion!' coming towards him. And I see, walking towards me,. Nobody even blinked. But it was, I mean, he can't hide, Peter.
