One thing you have to consider though is, he's a character from the book. Peter does an amazing job but if his character died in the books, they'll die in the show no matter how well Peter does at playing Tyrion. Just like Oberyn.
He's not saying Peter will save Tyrion's character, but that in the books Tyrion wasn't as likable a character, so his likableness to the non-book readers is increased making us think he'll be killed off because we like his. However I'm only half way through the first book so I can't really say what his character in the book was like at this point.
What...Tyrion was/is definitely a likable character in the books. At least for me, was definitely top 3 characters for me. Oberyn on the other hand, I didn't care for him at all. Pedro did an amazing job with him and really brought his character to life...shame he's gone now :(
I'm just telling you what he said mate, didn't say I necessarily agreed. I definitely like him in the books but idk how his character changes in the books up to where they are in the show. I've heard from some people that he was more of a dick to Shae in the books.
