Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage)

Peter Dinklage picked up an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his work as Tyrion Lannister, the black sheep of the Lannister family. In the second season, he's been pressed into service as the King's Hand, a right-hand man to the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. It's a thankless role -- the last two Hands have been murdered. But Tyrion is too clever to let the same fate befall him. Right? ... Right?
