The Man With The Golden Gun - Dinner Party
The late dwarf actor was best known for playing Scaramanga’s henchman in the Roger Moore-led The Man With The Golden Gun and now Dinklage has a chance to portray him.
The biopic is called My Dinner with Hervé and follows a crazy night in LA focused on the actor and a struggling journalist called Danny Tate, played by Dornan.
The script is written by Sacha Gervasi, who recorded the film interview with Hervé before he committed suicide in 1993, aged 50.
Apart from Bond, the actor was also famous for playing Tattoo in the TV series Fantasy Land, while recent revelations from Roger Moore claim the 3ft 11in Hervé was a “sex maniac.”

Last November the 89-year-old former 007 spoke at the Southbank Centre where he told the audience: “He was a very small man and he used to touch me and I used to say, ‘Don't touch me. You are diseased.’
"I wasn't being cruel about his size, it was just that he was a sex maniac. He had a lust for ladies, unnatural."
Moore added that he asked Hervé how many women he had slept during The Man With The Golden Gun film shoot in the Far East.
The actor added: "He told me 35. I told him that did not count as he paid for them, but he said, 'Sometimes when I pay they refuse.'"
Hervé was a "sex maniac" according to Roger Moore
Hervé's life came to a tragic end when he shot himself in the garden of his Hollywood home in 1993, aged 50.
He left a suicide note which read: "I love everybody. Nobody is to blame for this."
His girlfriend Kathy Self revealed that he had been suffering from chronic pain due to the stresses his normal-sized organs were putting on his small body.
