‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 4 Spoilers: Tyrion Will Reach A ‘Breaking Point,’ Peter Dinklage’s Character Faces Major Changes After Episode 1

"Game of Thrones" season 4 premieres in just 23 days! Vanity Fair caught up with Peter Dinklage to see if he would reveal some "Game of Thrones" season 4 spoilers, especially about his fan-favorite character, Tyrion Lannister.

According to WinterIsComing.net, the season 4 trailers reveal that Tyrion Lannister is in trouble - he is frequently featured in the videos in chains or locked away in a dungeon.

"He sort of reaches a breaking point," Peter Dinklage told Vanity Fair of his character Tyrion in "Game of Thrones" season 4. "He comes to a point where it's difficult to have a sense of humor about his circumstances, and he really just wants the truth to be heard. He reaches the point where he's very tired of all the lies. He become as non-characteristic of a Lannister as you can get."

Dinklage also gave some spoilers about the changes we will see Tyrion go through when the new season premieres in less than month.

"He definitely reaches a breaking point, which is great, because he's a character who has always taken everything in stride. So the circumstances around someone like Tyrion have to be really dire for him not to take it in stride or with a sense of humor. What I love so much about this TV show and what I love about any character-the thing I'm drawn to is change. If the character doesn't change, especially in a TV series, it's not interesting to me. The reason I like Breaking Bad, which is still probably my favorite show, is Walter White. You watch him transform, and that's so fascinating. And I think a lot of TV shows that aren't successful, it's because the characters become stagnant. If they're popular at the beginning, writers continue with what is successful, but that becomes tedious to me, as an actor and as a viewer. And our source material and our writers have embraced change."

But will Dinklage miss playing the old Tyrion who always had the witty one-liners?

"At his heart, he can't help himself. He will always be that guy, but I certainly don't mind change. I think everybody goes through changes, and the same should be said for fictional characters, especially ones that you follow on television," he told Vanity Fair.

The full interview is available in the "Game of Thrones" cover issue of Vanity Fair on newsstands today!

The "Game of Thrones" season 4 premiere air date is April 6 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.
