Kim Davis is best known for being the younger sister of English actor Warwick Davis. Both were raised in Epsom, Surrey, England.
Davis was born to her parents, Susan J. and Ashley Davis, an insurance broker. Her brother, Warwick, was born with a spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita, a rare disorder of bone growth resulting in dwarfism.
When the actor was 11 years old, his grandmother came across a radio advertisement looking for people who were 4 feet tall or shorter to be the cast of Return of the Jedi, directed by Richard Marquand, a 1983 American space opera film.
He was a great fan of Star Wars and felt like his dream had come true. During the shooting of Return of the Jedi, American actor Mark Hamill bought Davis every Star Wars action figure he did not have.
The actor was initially cast as an extra Ewok. But when Kenny Baker, originally going to be Wicket, fell unwell. Goerge Lucas then picked Davis to be the Wicket after witnessing how he carried himself as an Ewok.
