Which actor won four Primetime Emmys for playing Tyrion Lannister?

The story behind the answer

Peter Dinklage won four Primetime Emmy Awards for playing Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones. He received the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series award for the role in 2011, 2015, 2018, and 2019.

Dinklage’s Tyrion is the youngest son of Tywin Lannister and the brother of Jaime and Cersei. Although frequently underestimated because of his dwarfism and family status, Tyrion relies on wit, political judgment, and sharp speeches to survive the power struggles of Westeros.

The Emmy total refers to competitive acting wins for this television role, not to four awards for four different characters. Dinklage was nominated multiple times across the show’s run, making Tyrion one of the series’ most consistently honored performances. The other listed actors played important Game of Thrones characters, but none played Tyrion.
