"When you see him on screen there's a certain magic. He's a marvelous actor. Three feet tall, but filled with energy and charm and a sense of humor and a marvelous talent for pantomime."
―Tom Smith, producer of Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure
While playing Wicket in Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, Davis also made a mockumentary made with help from Return of the Jedi's first assistant director, David Tomblin. The unreleased film was a fictional look at his decision to become an actor and act in the film and his transformation into an Ewok. Davis continued the role as Wicket in the made-for-TV movies Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, and had four brief uncredited appearances in The Phantom Menace—one as Wald, the young Rodian friend of Anakin Skywalker; the other as Weazel, one of the gamblers at the podrace. Davis also had a cameo as a "Tatooine street trader," and doubled Yoda in some of his "walking" scenes in The Phantom Menace (although Yoda was still voiced by Frank Oz).
He is probably best known as the title character in Willow, Professor Flitwick and Griphook in the Harry Potter films, and a murderous leprechaun in the long-running series of horror films of the same name. Warwick Davis also played the body of Marvin the Paranoid Android in the 2005 film version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
