I saw Warwick Davis on The Jonathon Ross Show on UKTV last night and he came across as a real nice, interesting guy. His story on how he got into ROTJ and his freindship with George Lucas, that lasts to this day, was great.
He also mentioned that Ricky Gervais is writing a sitcom for him to star in where he plays himself so that should be real funny.

I've seen that episode a couple of times. They're all repeats because the Jonathan Ross show was cancelled in the UK last year.
I don't know whether or not they're still working on that new show for Warwick Davis ... it sounded quite a bit like Matt Le Blanc's new show where he plays an over-the-top version of himself.
Leonard Maltin's movie review book only lists two of the Leprechaun movies:
- Leprechaun (1993). Rating: 1 star out of 4, Bomb
- Leprechaun 2 (1994). Rating: 1.5 stars (out of 4)
The Sky TV synopsis for that episode of the Jonathan Ross show called Warwick Davis an "actress".

I noticed they called him an actress as well haha
On Warwicks website he announces that the BBC have approved a six part series that He, Ricky Gervais, and Stephen Merchant are developing and that it will be on screens in the UK sometime this year...so we'll get it around 2018

I can confirm that he is indeed a heck of a nice guy
That sitcom sounds like it'd be a good watch, have to keep an eye out for it.

A little bit of news about Warwick Davis' new TV show from the latest issue of the TV Guide ...
Johnny gets the last laugh
Alice in Wonderland star Johnny Depp will guest star in Ricky Gervais' new sitcom, Life's Too Short. The TV show, which is written by Ricky and his writing partner Stephen Merchant, follows Harry Potter actor Warwick Davis who has dwarfism and is the head of a talent agency for little people. Johnny's appearance on the show comes after Ricky poked fun at the actor while hosting the Golden Globes this year. At the awrds ceremony, Ricky said: "It was a big year for 3D movies. Toy Story, Despicable Me, Tron ... seems like everything was three-dimensional except the characters in The Tourist."
