I don't know how many little people/dwarf actors are out there these days, but Peter Dinklage seems to be the premier among them and he's set to star as Hervé. Dinklage was simply glorious in The Station Agent and he's currently kicking major ass as Tyrion Lannister on "Game of Thrones." So, though I don't see much of a visual similarity,

I have no doubt that Dinklage will make the most of the role. Meanwhile, pretty boy Dominic Cooper (An Education, The Escapist), who actually does bear a slight resemblance to Gervasi,

will take on the role of the journalist/interviewer. The film will take place over the course of a dinner interview, with flashbacks of Hervé's life.

(Of Villechaize) Gervasi said, "Herve wasn't just a pop culture icon; he was one of the most charming, cultured and dangerous people I've ever met. His is the story of a unique misfit trying to find his place in the world."

Filming on My Dinner with Hervé is expected to start this year.
