Part 4/7:
The primary reason for Hamill's attendance at the award show was to present a fellowship honor to Warwick Davis, a prolific actor known for his roles in the "Star Wars" franchise and other notable works. The fellowship celebrated Davis’s contributions to film and television but also highlighted the stark realities that actors of shorter stature face in Hollywood.
Despite receiving accolades, Davis has spoken out about the exclusion faced by actors with dwarfism in contemporary cinema. He expressed his concerns over the trend of casting non-dwarf actors in roles originally meant for them, using digital alterations to shrink their appearance on screen. This trend underscores a paradox where esteemed awards are given, yet opportunities for actual roles become increasingly rare.
