Warwick Davis Net Worth $5 Million
Warwick’s father was an insurance broker, and mother a house maker. Davis was detected with an extremely rare case of dwarfism. An admirer of “Star Wars”, Davis’ initial break was like a dream come true, especially as he took the role of Wicket, that gave a real boost to the start of his career, and his net worth! Despite the fact that he was a dwarf, Davis took this as an opportunity, and did a back – breaking job in all the work he took up!
Being short has never stopped Davis from achieving great heights! His career and his life is an inspiration to all those who mull over themselves and underestimate their own capabilities. Warwick Davis has performed exceptionally in all the roles he has played. He played a leading role in “Willow” (1988), and in “Chronicle of Narnia”. His role of Leprechaun in the horror series ‘”Leprechaun” was highly appreciated by audiences, and in 1989 he acted as Reepicheep in “Prince Caspian and the Voyage of the Dawn Treader”. His net worth was building all the time.
In 1995, Davis with his associate dwarf actor, his father–in–law Peter Burroughs, co-founded Willow Management, a specializing agency for aspiring actors with a height of five feet or below. Then in 2004 the agency began taking up actors with a height of more than seven feet, who were previously confined to relatively insignificant roles. The popularity of Willow Management reached heights as 40 students from the agency were cast as goblins in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-2”. Of course this project also added to Davis’ net worth, as well as assisting fellow actors.
Warwick Davis has now appeared in over 50 films and TV shows and series – so obviously too many to mention – at least one every year except 1989 since his debut, and in many years two or three, including in many popular films such as the “Star Wars” and “Harry Potter” series’. He has also been involved in other activities, for example hosting a factual TV series called “Weekend Escapes with Warwick Davis”, and “Celebrity Squares” in recent years.
Expanding on his personal life, Warwick was born with an extremely rare genetic disorder called spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SED), so his maximum height is 1.07 m (3 feet 6 inches). Samantha Burroughs – who Warwick met during the filming of “Willows” – sister of actress Hayley Burroughs and daughter of Peter Burroughs, is the wife of Warwick Davis, and the couple is gifted with two children, however, Samantha suffers from achondroplasia and therefore their children also fell to SED, as a consequence of which the couple’s older sons George and Lloyd died immediately after their birth due to the deadly fusions of the conditions.
Having encountered the most difficult situations in life, Warwick has still stood head-and-shoulders above the crowd, and is certainly a living legend in the entertainment industry.
