Given Warwick’s long and established career in the industry, he has made a name for himself as being the highest grossing supporting actor of all time.

Warwick told the Radio Times he is always looking to pursue new challenges in his career: “I like a challenge as well, so when I get the chance to do something different like Tenable, or voicing a character, it’s an interesting challenge each time.”

One of Warwick’s lesser known roles was in the 1993 comedy horror film Leprechaun alongside Friends star Jennifer Aniston .

Warwick has claimed Jennifer “tends to deny that movie ever happened” and joked you should “never forget where you came from.”

Given his experience working as an actor with dwarfism, Warwick has shown his commitment to raising awareness for other people living with the condition.

He founded his own charity Little People UK with his wife Sammy to help shed light on the problems facing people with dwarfism.

Warwick told MailOnline : “I go out to schools. Sometimes there’ll be a child at the school with dwarfism and sometimes there won’t. I talk about my life and career and answer questions.

“I remind them me being well known is a result of me being successful so I tell them you could be famous but don’t just try for the fame, try for success.

“We try and raise awareness for dwarfism but people say we’re aware of people with dwarfism but I don’t think people understand how challenging it is for some people in society today.”
