Get a Sneak Peek of Peter Dinklage as 'Fantasy Island' Star in 'My Dinner With Hervé'
In the first trailer for the HBO biopic "My Dinner With Hervé," Peter Dinklage rocks a black wig and a heavy accent as "Fantasy Island" bell-ringer Hervé Villechaize.
The focus on the TV movie is the relationship between Villechaize and journalist Danny Tate (Jamie Dornan), who interviewed the actor shortly before his suicide in 1993.
In the 20-second sneak peek, we see Hervé as "Fantasy Island" regular Tattoo, at the premiere for the 1974 Bond film "The Man With the Golden Gun," and telling Dornan's character, "I have a real story for you."
Andy Garcia costars as Ricardo Montalbán (aka "Fantasy Island" wish granter Mr. Roarke). No word on whether we'll see anyone stepping into the shoes of Bond star Roger Moore or Christopher Lee.
The cast includes Mireille Enos, Harriet Walter, Oona Chaplin, and David Strahairn.
Dinklage has spent several years developing the project with writer-director Sacha Gervasi, who previously directed the-behind-the-scenes film "Hitchcock."
