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).

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