He played an ewok in Return of the Jedi and a goblin in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. In Labyrinth, he played a member of the Goblin Corps and was a stunt double for Hoggle. Grant also appeared in Legend and Willow.
Yeah, I caught that too. He played a background character in both movies. I'm sorry he passed away, but this seems like the news trying to make him seem like a more famous actor than he was.
Warwick Davis is 53, if he dies in 3 years time the reaction will be similar; "he's a dwarf", but because of the name recognition that connection will be made far sooner.
Same deal with Peter Dinklage who is also 53, but both are far more widely known than someone with acting credits of "Goblin (uncredited)", "Ewok", or even "stunt double: Hoggie".
Ron Perlman used to be the dictionary example of that. He seemed to be in a lot of things before he was in anything that didn't involve heavy makeup to his face (I'm thinking as far back as the Beauty and the Beast series).
Who?
So he's a dwarf who died at 56.

Meh, some people are always dressed up in a costume that blocks most of their body.

Excuse you shitlord, the correct term is "nearground character".
