Warwick Davis (born February 3, 1970, Epsom, Surrey, England, UK) is an actor noted for being short — he is three feet six inches (about one metre) tall.
He is probably best known as the title character in Willow, Professor Flitwick in the Harry Potter movies, and a murderous leprechaun in the long-running series of horror films of the same name — see Leprechaun (movie).
Other notable roles include Wicket, the Ewok befriended by Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi, his first film role. He continued the role in the made-for-TV movies The Ewok Adventure: Caravan of Courage and Ewoks: Battle for Endor. He also had two brief uncredited appearances in The Phantom Menace — one as Wald, the young Rodian friend of Anakin Skywalker (i.e., the same race as Greedo); the other is Weazel, one of the gamblers at the podrace.
Warwick Davis also plays the body of Marvin the Paranoid Android in the 2005 film version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
In addition to his acting career, Davis is the co-founder of a talent agency that specialises in representing actors under five feet tall.
