In My Dinner with Hervé, struggling journalist Danny Tate (played by Jamie Dornan) is tasked with interviewing the world-famous actor Hervé Villechaize (played by Peter Dinklage). Known for his role in Fantasy Island, Villechaize is a controversial figure in the entertainment industry and has a wild reputation.
As the two spend a wild night in Los Angeles, Danny begins to see beyond the tabloid headlines and gets to know the real Hervé. The unlikely pair bond over their shared struggles with fame and personal demons. Hervé opens up about his difficult childhood, his battles with addiction, and the discrimination he has faced as a little person.
Throughout the night, Danny and Hervé's once surface-level conversation turns into a life-changing experience for both men. Danny reevaluates his priorities and reconsiders his own struggles with addiction and mental health. Hervé, on the other hand, finds solace in Danny's empathy and is able to confront his own demons head-on.
As their night comes to a close, the two part ways with a newfound understanding and respect for one another. My Dinner with Hervé is a poignant exploration of fame, empathy, and the power of human connection.
