Peter Dinklage had a mullet in high school

MORRISTOWN, N.J., June 5 (UPI) -- A 1987 picture of Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage sporting a mullet in his high school yearbook photo is spreading across the Internet faster than the wildfire he used to defend King's Landing.

The black-and-white Delbarton School photo was posted to Reddit and shows Dinklage with a quote from playwright Sam Shepard: "Words are tools of imagery in motion."

The comments on the photo are funny -- but they do contain a few spoilers.

"Now, there's something he's guilty of," wrote one user.

"He demanded trial by mullet. He won," wrote another.

During an interview with Playboy Magazine, Dinklage described his time in high school:

"High school is a funny thing. On one hand you're so fragile. But I thought I was William Burroughs by the age of 13, so I had this massive ego as well. Everything in high school feels like it's life or death. I went to a pretty athletic high school, and I didn't have many friends. I remember once talking to my best friend, and we came up with the idea that we should hang ourselves off the bell tower. 'That'll show them.' We totally had no inclination to commit real suicide at all; we just liked the idea of the whole town responding to this tragedy, how the school would mourn. Oh God, we were so dramatic."

Delbarton School is an all-male Roman Catholic prep school in Morristown, N.J.
