I'm happy that he was happy with the role. As much as I loved the movies the first time, upon his death I found out he had depression and I was worried the movie had contributed to it and I found myself unable to watch them.

I'm honored to met him by chance driving home from California. After I stopped to talk to him and we talked for some time, I was departing by shaking hands and he said pick me up, where he landed a big kiss on my lips..that was epic and my kids, now adults, still tell the story they were so happy to be apart of and witness to..we were very sad the day he passed.. Rest in peace to a very cool person..

I loved the movie “Willow” when I was growing up. Warwick was eighteen at the time of filming and it was the first movie where he was the main character and not wearing a mask. I can’t wait to see him reprise the role in the Disney+ series.

I have dwarfism and was kind of shy as a kid, Willow was one of the biggest inspirations on me moving past that, seeing not only Warwick but a whole village of little people like me really gave me a boost in confidence and opened me up, now I am the exact opposite and maybe sometimes too outgoing lol.

I just learned that Verne Troyer passed. Thanks to Mike Myers and his Austin Powers sequals, Troyer played one of the most memorable characters to Grace the big screen. At only 2"8' he had such an incredible presence, and I'm sure everyone involved with those or any of his movies, were considered lucky to have know him. One of my daughter's nicknames is "mini-me.". Not just because she looks and acts like me, but because she's also very small for her age. R.I.P. Verne Troyer!!! Thanks for all the laughs you brought to my family and I. 🙏💔😟

Hollywood needs to recognize: I will go to the theater and see any film featuring Mr. Davis, Mr. Troyer, Mr. Roy, and the others. And then I'll buy the BluRay. Because these folks are fantastic actors! I swear, it seems like Hollywood is blind! I've tuned in to every single show featuring these artists! If I had the means, I'd develop a show for all of them. And I'd bet almost anything that it would be a BIG hit.
