SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — A Pakistani waiter had never heard of Game of Thrones until it was pointed out to him that he looks like one of the show's most popular characters: Tyrion Lannister, played by Peter Dinklage.

According to Channel NewsAsia, since the show first premiered in 2011, 25-year-old waiter Rozi Khan has repeatedly been stopped for pictures from fans of his famous doppelganger.

Khan and Dinklage not only look alike, but they're also about the same height too; 4'4".

Photos of the pair have since gone viral online.

Khan spoke of his fame to Channel NewsAsia:

Wherever I go, someone says to me: 'Sir, who is this man with you on Facebook', I say that he is my friend. 'He looks like you'. I tell them he is my brother. It's not a bad thing.
Khan works at a small restaurant in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

In fact, Khan is a major reason why people go to the Kashmiri restaurant.

"When he takes a day off or gets sick, people look for him and ask where did he go?" restaurant owner Malik Aslam Pervez told Channel NewsAsia. "They get upset. They love him. There is always a crowd here but it has boomed because of him."

Customers who come to meet Khan say it's like meeting Dinklage.

"When I saw him, I'm happy, I feel that I met with Lannister in real [life]," 20-year-old Zain Hadri told Channel NewsAsia.

The final season of Game of Thrones premieres April 14 on HBO.

Mansehra man finds fame as Game of Thrones doppelganger
BY AGENCIES , (LAST UPDATED 11 SECONDS AGO)

Pakistani waiter Rozi Khan had never heard of the Game of Thrones — or its hugely popular character Tyrion Lannister — until his striking resemblance to the dwarf anti-hero got heads turning at home.

The 25-year-old so resembles actor Peter Dinklage — who has played the witty and wily nobleman since the hit series’ first season in 2010 — that he gets regularly stopped by strangers desperate for a picture.

“I don’t mind. A lot of my pictures have been taken, that’s why I have become very famous everywhere,” he said.

Not only are Khan and Dinklage’s faces strikingly similar, they are also the same height at around 135 cms (4 ft 5in).

Photographs of the pair have unsurprisingly made their way onto social media showing the doppelgangers side-by-side.

“Wherever I go, someone says to me: ‘Sir, who is this man with you on Facebook’, I say that he is my friend. ‘He looks like you’. I tell them he is my brother. It’s not a bad thing,” said Khan.

The television series has won 47 Emmys — more than any other fictional show in history — along with a Golden Globe for Dinklage, 49, for best supporting actor in 2012.

A much anticipated final series is set to premiere on April 17.

Khan works at a small Kashmiri restaurant down a narrow line in Rawalpindi, serving customers hearty dishes such as mutton and spinach curries.

Owner Malik Aslam Pervez described him as a hard-worker — and also a drawcard for the eatery.

“When he takes a day off or gets sick, people look for him and ask where did he go? They get upset. They love him. There is always a crowd here but it has boomed because of him,” he said.

Born in Mansehra in northern Pakistan, Khan says he would love to meet Dinklage, describing him as a friend and brother.

“I love him very much, he is my friend… he is my height so I like him a lot,” said Khan.

For customers, seeing Tyrion Lannister in the flesh is also a thrill.

“When I saw him, I’m happy, I feel that I met with Lannister in real [life],” said Zain Hadri, 20.

“Game of Thrones” tells the story of noble families vying for control of the Iron Throne, all the while keeping one eye on the “White Walkers” leading hordes of the undead toward an invasion from the North.
