Hey Warwick, Any stories of mischief when in costume as Wicket? Thanks!

All the Ewoks ganged up on the crew when they were in line for lunch on location in the Redwood Forest. We ambushed them from moving vehicles with water bombs. There were about 30-40 Ewoks in various different Jeeps and vehicles that we’d managed to commandeer, and the rest of the crew was lining up for lunch outside, under a canopy tent, and we all drove past and it was a drive by water bombing basically. Trying to avoid the man in the plaid shirt. He did get hit, but I don’t think he made out who threw it.

Hi Mr Davis, I have been a fan of yours since I was very young, I spent many days pretending to be Wicket playing in the forrest near my home. But without a doubt Willow holds the closest place to my heart - do you have any stories about Val Kilmer from your time on the film and…

u/WarwickADavis replied

Val Kilmer once broke my pair of fake Ray-Ban sunglasses on purpose. Waited for me to get annoyed, then gave me 2 pairs of real Ray-Bans.

Wow, this is great! Thank you so much for your wide body of work, I love the diversity of your work from Willow to your work on An Idiot Abroad, I love it all! Any good behind the scenes stories from any of your work that you would like to share?

Let me think. It’s funny when you try and then can’t think of anything. I mean, its kinda out there a bit, but the characteristics of Wicket in Return of the Jedi were modeled on my pet dog who used to tilt his head from side to side when he heard a strange sound. I felt this would work quite well for the character. Also, the food that Princess Leia gives Wicket by the log was actually one of those healthy but horrible tasting rice cakes. And one final snippet, Wicket’s tongue is not animatronic, its actually my own tongue.

Hi Warwick, what's with the name Warwick? Is it 'cos you were conceived in Warwick Castle? Also, do you refer to your own house as Warwick's castle? missed opportunity if not. All the best.

u/WarwickADavis replied

My name was seen by my parents as graffiti on a train station wall. It turns out it's a good name for an actor as it's quite unusual.

I often refer to my house as Warwick's Castle on my quiz show, Tenable.
