Tyrion Lannister (4/14/15)

Welcome to the third day of Game of Thrones week here on My Slow Mo Cat. Every day this week, in honor of the premier of the 5th season of Game of Thrones, Emily (aka the Slow Mo Cat) is impersonating a different Game of Thrones character.

Day 1: Drogon
Day 2: Jamie Lannister aka The Kingslayer
Day 3: Tyrion Lannister

Before Sunday's season premier, we had last seen Tyrion in full flight, allowing himself to be locked in a crate so he could escape from the certain death that awaited him in Westeros. Emily, was at first unsure if she could even pull off a Tyrion impersonation. How could she embody all those character complexities? Wouldn't her performance be compared to that of Peter Dinklage? After quite a bit of cajoling, I convinced her to give it a shot and boy did she do great!

For Tyrion, Emily chose to reenact the scene where he emerges from his crate after a long journey from King's Landing to Pentos. Embodying all of the curiosity and cleverness of Tyrion, under the cover of night, Emily pokes her head out of the box/crate and surveys her new life.
