Warwick Davis net worth
Published estimates put Warwick Davis’s net worth at around $10 million. Like all celebrity net worth figures, this is an outside estimate rather than a disclosed number: it does not account for taxes, agency fees, property or private investments. What is clear is where the money has come from, and his income streams are unusually varied for a character actor.
Where his income comes from
- Film roles in major franchises. Davis has appeared in Star Wars films from 1983 to 2019 and in all eight Harry Potter films, two of the highest-grossing series in movie history.
- Leading roles. He headlined Willow (1988) and the six-film Leprechaun horror series (1993 to 2003), and returned as Willow for the 2022 Disney+ series.
- Television presenting. He hosted ITV’s Celebrity Squares (2014 to 2015) and the quiz show Tenable (2016 to 2024), which gave him a steady TV income for most of a decade.
- Willow Management. The talent agency he co-founded represents actors under five feet tall and supplies performers to film and TV productions.
- Conventions, theater and writing. He is a regular at fan conventions, has produced and starred in stage work, and published an autobiography, Size Matters Not, in 2010.
Early life
Warwick Ashley Davis was born on February 3, 1970, in Epsom, Surrey. He was born with a rare form of dwarfism, a fact he has spoken about openly throughout his career and later built much of his advocacy work around. His route into acting came almost by chance: his grandmother heard a radio call for short performers to appear in the third Star Wars film, and at 11 years old Davis was cast.
Career highlights
Star Wars: Wicket the Ewok and beyond
Davis made his screen debut as Wicket W. Warrick, the Ewok who befriends Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi (1983). He reprised Wicket in two Ewok TV movies in the mid-1980s and went on to play a long list of characters across the saga, including roles in The Phantom Menace, The Force Awakens, Rogue One, The Last Jedi, Solo and The Rise of Skywalker. By most counts he has played around 15 different Star Wars characters, more than almost any other actor in the franchise. Fellow Star Wars actor Ewan McGregor’s net worth offers a useful comparison of how the prequel era paid its leading cast.
Willow
George Lucas developed Willow (1988) with Davis in mind after working with him on Return of the Jedi. Directed by Ron Howard, the fantasy film cast him as Willow Ufgood, a farmer and aspiring sorcerer, in a lead role opposite Val Kilmer. More than three decades later he returned to the character in the Disney+ series Willow (2022).
Leprechaun
Starting in 1993, Davis played the murderous title character in Leprechaun and five sequels through 2003. The low-budget horror series became a cult favorite and showed his range far beyond family fantasy.
Harry Potter
In the Harry Potter films (2001 to 2011), Davis played two very different roles: Professor Filius Flitwick, the Charms teacher at Hogwarts, and Griphook, the goblin at Gringotts bank. The series also starred Helena Bonham Carter, who played Bellatrix Lestrange and shared key Gringotts scenes with Griphook in the final film.
Television and comedy
Davis played Reepicheep and Glimfeather in the BBC’s The Chronicles of Narnia adaptations (1989 to 1990) and appeared as Porridge in the Doctor Who episode “Nightmare in Silver” (2013). He also starred as a fictionalized, comically self-important version of himself in Life’s Too Short (2011 to 2013), the sitcom created with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.
As a presenter he fronted the revived Celebrity Squares on ITV (2014 to 2015) and then hosted the teatime quiz Tenable from 2016 to 2024.
Theater
Davis founded the Reduced Height Theatre Company to stage productions with casts of short-statured actors. Its 2014 touring production of the farce See How They Run, in which he also performed, reflected his long-running push for more varied roles for actors with dwarfism.
Business ventures and advocacy
In 1995 Davis co-founded Willow Management with Peter Burroughs, an agency representing performers under five feet tall. It has supplied actors to numerous large productions and gives Davis a business income alongside his acting fees.
He also co-founded the charity Little People UK, which supports people with dwarfism and their families. His charity work was specifically cited when he was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2026 New Year Honours for services to drama and charity. Prince William presented the honor in March 2026.
Personal life
Davis married Samantha Burroughs in 1991. She was an actress and co-founder of Little People UK. Samantha Davis died in March 2024 at age 53, and Davis has spoken publicly about her role in his career and charity work. The couple’s children, Annabelle and Harrison, are now adults. (Some older articles still describe him as currently married; that is out of date.)
Awards and recognition
- BAFTA Fellowship, February 2025, the academy’s highest honor, recognizing his body of work.
- OBE, 2026 New Year Honours, for services to drama and charity.
- Autobiography: Size Matters Not (2010), with a foreword by George Lucas.
