Director Joe Wright’s lavish adaptation of the 2019 off-Broadway musical, written by Dinklage’s wife Erica Schmidt, finds the actor embodying Cyrano de Bergerac as a swashbuckling 17th century wordsmith who buries his attraction to childhood friend Roxanne ( Haley Bennett) by helping an inarticulate guardsman ( Kelvin Harrison Jr.) romance the woman by writing love letters for him. As a clip reel of his nearly 30-year career in film and TV proved ahead of a tribute on the first day of the Telluride Film Festival, Dinklage can play a sensitive loner (“ The Station Agent”) just as well as an icy mob boss (“I Care a Lot”) and the anarchic schemer Tyrion Lannister from “ Game of Thrones.” The screening of his new movie that followed a brief onstage conversation, “ Cyrano,” also proved that Dinklage can sing. Peter Dinklage may be one of the most recognizable actors working today, but that doesn’t limit his range.
