I’m Warwick Davis. Ewok, Hogwarts Professor, Leprechaun, Tenable quiz show host…AMA!

What was it like to work with Karl Pilkington?

Also, were you offended by the way he talks about you (little fella, etc) or did you find it part of his charm?

I am not easily offended. I just took that as part of Karl's charm.

Is he really an idiot?

No.

Hello Mr. Davis, out of all the prosthetics and makeup you’ve had to wear, which was your favorite and which was the most difficult to have applied?

The Griphook make-up in Harry Potter was the most challenging. It was very heavy and restrictive but I think it looked incredible. I have so much respect for Nick Dudman and his team of artists.

You played three different roles in Harry Potter, how easy was it to keep all the characters distinct when playing them? Were you familiar with the Harry Potter universe before taking on the roles?

You have to approach each character differently. it starts with the way they think, then add body language and posture. They become distinct and different automatically, it wasn't a conscious effort.

Hi Warwick, How different did it feel working on the newest Star Wars films to how it was back in the 80s?

It's really not that different. I find it just as exciting as I did when I was 11 and many of the techniques used have not changed at all.

Does making Willow 2 interest you?

Yes.

I absolutely love Willow. I killed my vhs as a kid I watched it so much. Would you be willing to do a sequel even after so long? It would be cool to see you ask the next generation what finger holds the magic to change the world.

An older Willow would be interesting to explore.

Hello. Forgive me if this comes out offensive, none is meant.

I really love your work and think you are a great actor. Sometimes I feel like you are somewhat typecasted into rolls inherently designed for little people. Is it hard or even possible to get major roles that are open and not little specific? It's an honest question becuase i would love to see you just act in a position. I feel like every time I've seen you do this its in an project of your own device. Anyway, would love to hear from you mate.

I am very happy with the roles I have been getting throughout my career. They have all been interesting and I am constantly being pushed creatively and learning new skills. I have a new quiz show called 'Tenable' on ITV in the UK and I can honestly say I love hosting it even though it is more difficult than playing a character in a movie, for example.

Warwick, if you could cast any spell only once each day, what would it be?

An anti-discrimination spell.

What is your dream roll in a movie?

A spy like James Bond.

Mr. Davis, what's it like being part of two of the biggest franchises (Star Wars and Harry Potter) of all time?

I feel incredibly lucky.

What are your favorite TV shows right now?

I am absolutely loving Stranger Things 2. I have resisted watching the whole series in one sitting, instead savouring one episode each evening. If they do make a season 3, I will personally travel to and camp outside The Duffer Bros. house to get a part.

Which Leprechaun movie was your favorite, and if you could pick any setting for a future movie, what would you choose?

Lep 3. I think it would be fun to do a Leprechaun / Pirates hybrid movie.

What was the worst thing you had to endure while filming Idiot Abroad?

Horrendous hotels!

Mr Davis, if you could choose your last meal on Earth, what would it be?

Pie.

Thanks for all your questions. I'm sorry I didn't get through them all in the time I had. If you get a chance, tune into Tenable, weekdays at 3pm on ITV. And if you enjoy a musical, check out Eugenius! www.eugeniusthemusical.com. Cheers and I'll see ya in the movies!

Hello!!! If you could adopt any fantasy beast or creature from the various universes you’ve acted in as a pet, what would you choose?

I like the look of the Porgs in The Last Jedi.

What's your favorite song?

Thanks for doing this, and for all of your work!

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. I had so much fun performing the song in the musical, Spamalot.

How was it working with the Yogscast in the past? Would you work with them again in the future?

They are a great team. I'd be happy to collaborate on further project with them.

What was your most fun moment on your adventures with Karl?

Seeing al the fantastic places we visited and having experiences I wouldn't have had on a normal holiday.

With well over 30 years of acting under your belt, where would you like the next 10 to go Mr Davis?

I'd love to host a TV talk show. I have a title... 'Small Talk with Warwick Davis'

What was it like working with Val Kilmer?

I think Val is a brilliant person and actor. We got along great, and still do. He is often misrepresented in the media, which is a shame.

Hi Warwick, what's with the name Warwick? Is it 'cos you were conceived in Warwick Castle?
Also, do you refer to your own house as Warwick's castle? missed opportunity if not.
All the best.

My name was seen by my parents as graffiti on a train station wall. It turns out it's a good name for an actor as it's quite unusual.

I often refer to my house as Warwick's Castle on my quiz show, Tenable.

Hi Mr Davis, I have been a fan of yours since I was very young, I spent many days pretending to be Wicket playing in the forrest near my home. But without a doubt Willow holds the closest place to my heart - do you have any stories about Val Kilmer from your time on the film and do you do any magic tricks yourself? Thanks and never stop being awesome!

Val Kilmer once broke my pair of fake Ray-Ban sunglasses on purpose. Waited for me to get annoyed, then gave me 2 pairs of real Ray-Bans.

I learnt magic for Willow but don't practice any of the tricks now.

Will we ever see any more of Porridge on Dr. Who?

I'd love to do more Porridge. I think he's a very interesting character with so much more to offer, after all, he is the emperor of the known universe!

What's your favorite ice cream flavor?

Vanilla.

How are YOU, as a person?

A bit grumpy... as a GOBLIN!

Whats your favourite flavour of pot noodle??

Never eaten one.

Favorite sandwich?

Cheese salad.

Ha I'm just remembering how I once met you when you were in Woolacombe, it always stuck out to me that you took the time to meet and greet people who wanted to speak to you even though you had a bunch of people telling you that you had to get going. So thanks for being cool!

What's you're favourite moment from the Harry Potter series?

It's hard to choose 1 moment from 11 years of memories. I had a wonderful experience during that time. My fondest memories are of the people involved in the making of the films.

What were Mr Merchant and Mr Gervais like to work with?

Also, how did Johnny Depp fit in? Was it via Tim Burton? Did you meet Helen on Harry Potter?

Stephen is very funny and a brilliant writer/performer. Ricky is sometimes like a 6yr old child - mischievous and silly.

Ricky just asked Johnny and he said yes.

The power to control the world is in which finger?

Your own, of course.

What role would you like to be remembered for?

Not sure which role but as an actor who just happens to be short!

Hi Warwick I really love your work :)

Im disabled and am interested if you perceive yourself as disabled? Also do you think more should be done to raise awareness about disability, particularly in the UK where attitudes seem to be very polarised and negative?

I don't perceive myself as being disabled. I think it's important to take what could be a disadvantage and a negative thing in your life, reframe it, and only see the positives it brings you.
