GRRM gave an interview one time about which actor most embodied the character as he pictured them and he specifically singled out Peter as being too tall and handsome for the role, but that he captured his personality perfectly.
I think in GRRMs mind, Tyrion was much more like Davis. Still loved the casting though.
