Enter The Ewok

In 1984, after the success of ‘Return of the Jedi’, Lucas went on to make two Ewok movies for ABC television, ‘Caravan of Courage’, and in 1985, ‘Battle for Endor’, Warwick reprised his role as Wicket in both. Also in 1985, Warwick appeared alongside David Bowie in the fantasy film, ‘Labyrinth’.

Ewok To Elstree

In 1987, Warwick Davis was called to Elstree Studios in London for a meeting with Ron Howard and George Lucas. They discussed a new project called ‘Willow’, written specifically with Warwick in mind. This epic fantasy has since become a firm favourite with family audiences throughout the world. After the success of ‘Willow’, Warwick was immediately back in front of the camera, this time for the small screen. He was cast in two series of the BBC television classic, ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’. In ‘The Voyage of the Dawn Treader’ Warwick portrayed the swashbuckling mouse, Reepicheep, and in ‘The Silver Chair’ he played Glimfeather the owl.

Goodie Or Baddie?

Up until this point in his career, Warwick Davis had always been cast as a ‘goodie’. On reading the script for ‘Leprechaun’, he was thrilled to learn that this Leprechaun was in fact a ‘baddie’. The film achieved cult status with movie fans, which prompted no less than five sequels to be made!

Warwick, Wald and Weazel

In 1997, George Lucas invited Warwick to return to that famous galaxy far, far away for ‘Star Wars – Episode 1: The Phantom Menace’. Warwick played no less than four roles in the film, including the characters Wald and Weazel.

Witchcraft & Wizardry

As well as the many roles on the big and small screens, Warwick Davis has trodden the boards of theatres throughout the United Kingdom. As well as appearing in and directing numerous productions of ‘Snow White’, he has also appeared in ‘Peter Pan’ and ‘Aladdin’. In 2001, Warwick joined the faculty of that most famous school for Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hogwarts. Warwick plays Professor Flitwick, the Goblin Bank Teller and Griphook in all eight ‘Harry Potter’ films, one of the most successful film series of all time!

Extra Warwick Davis

Ricky Gervais wrote an episode of his hit comedy ‘Extras’ to feature Warwick Davis and fellow Harry Potter cast member Daniel Radcliffe. Episode 3 in the series presents both Warwick and Daniel in a very different light!

Too Short For Warwick Davis

In 2011, Warwick starred in BBC comedy series ‘Life’s Too Short’, written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. Warwick co-created the show which saw him playing an exaggerated version of himself alongside guest stars including Liam Neeson, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Barry from Eastenders.

 Warwick has appeared in another classic sci-fi universe, ‘Dr Who’. ‘ A Nightmare in Silver’, written by acclaimed writer Neil Gaiman, saw the return of the Cybermen with Warwick in the role of Porridge, The Emperor of the known universe.

Spamalot Star On Stage

In 2013, Warwick made his West End debut in ‘Spamalot’, starring as Patsy alongside his Life’s Too Short co-star, Les Dennis. As a life-long Monty Python fan, this was a dream role for Warwick. So successful was his debut, that ‘Spamalot’ writer and ‘Python’ Eric Idol asked him to reprise the role; for a sell-out run at The Hollywood Bowl in August 2015.

Reduced Height Theatre

In 2016, Warwick realised a dream by founding and touring with The Reduced Height Theatre Company; and their first production, ‘See How They Run’. Warwick and his family embarked on another tour of the UK, in their VW campervan; for a second series of their travel show for ITV, ‘Weekend Escapes’. He added another string to his bow by becoming a game show host for a new series of ‘Celebrity Squares’, for which he has since made a second series.
