ONE OFF Peter as Herve MY DINNER WITH
HERVE SKY ATLANTIC, 9pm WITh an all-star cast and inspired by real events, this one-off film about the unlikely friendship between a struggling journalist and the world’s most famous dwarf actor is utterly compelling.
Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage plays legendary Bond villain actor herve Villechaize.
herve played the unforgettable knife-wielding baddie Nick Nack in The Man With The Golden Gun and went on to commit suicide at the age of 50.
Meanwhile, The Fall’s Jamie Dornan is recovering alcoholic Danny who flies from London to LA in 1993 to interview Gore Vidal.
While he’s there, his editor says he may as well interview herve, too, just for a funny “Where are they now” piece on the Bond star.
But what transpires when Danny and herve meet is that the pair spend one wild and dramatic night together. And it ends up having life-changing consequences for them both.
Also starring Mireille enos, Oona Chaplin, Andy Garcia and Daniel Mays, this is a treat not to be missed. Kimberley
