A lot of people with dwarfism did find their way into... forms of entertainment, whether it was the so-called freak shows or circuses or other modes of performing.

But instead of just doing what everyone else was doing, because there were many, many other short performers in Europe at that time, they just relied on being short and standing up there and having people gawp at them.

Whereas the Ovitz family, they were like, no, we are performers.

We're not just little people to be, you know, a spectacle.

We are going to give an entertaining show to these people.

Hundreds of thousands were forcibly sterilized.

When I think about the Nazis' kind of treatment of disabled people, I think, why so perfect? What is perfection, really? Who decides what is perfect? Nothing's perfect, is it, in nature? You know why humans love trees so much? Because it's the randomness of leaves and things.

You know, if you look at a brick wall, a perfectly pointed brick wall, you can only look at it for a certain amount of time because it's just perfect.

Your parents weren't in show business, so how on earth did you land the part?

Well, I've got radio to thank for my career.

My grandmother was at home in her kitchen, and she had, uh, the radio on as she always did.

And an announcement came on from, uh, Lucasfilm, who make Star Wars, and uh, it said, "We're looking for short people to play Ewoks in the next installment of Star Wars." She heard the words "Star Wars," and she heard the word "short people." And uh, she didn't immediately tell my mum about this because she was worried that she might offend her by saying, uh, "They need short people and I thought of Warwick." So she kind of held onto this, this information for a couple of days.

And uh, eventually she did call my mum, who immediately called the studios.

And they said, "Well, we've got everyone we need.

We were inundated with calls." I really, to this day, don't know what my mum said to them, but uh, they agreed to meet me.

What have you said to them about the best approach to life, about how to live with the prejudices they might meet or people's ignorance or people's preconceived ideas about who they might be?
