Conventions & Other Personal Appearances |
|
Warwick Davis makes frequent appearances at sci-fi and comics conventions. The emphasis is on Star Wars at these events, because his other movies have so far been unable to match the box office clout of that series. These events provide meet-the-stars opportunities, usually in the form of speeches or question-and-answer sessions, as well as photo opportunities and the chance to get autographs (for a fee). Warwick has a reputation for being friendly and cooperative, and more willing to talk to fans than most stars are.
If you're planning to attend one of these events, it pays to contact the conference host about the event timetable - guests might not be there for the entire convention. And keep in mind that guests are sometimes forced to cancel their appearance due to professional obligations or personal problems.
Warwick also makes occasional appearances at non-convention events.
Coolwater Productions is Warwick's official representative for U.S. appearances. You can check for upcoming conventions on their event calendar. I'll try to keep this page updated. But if there hasn't been a recent update you can look here for US and international conference listings. And it's always a good idea to check the Personal Appearances section on Warwick's official website.
These are all the past and present personal appearances I can find; the list is probably very incomplete.

I met Warwick myself for the first time at the San Diego Comic Con in July 2001. All those reports about his friendliness with fans are TRUE! When he autographs pictures, he writes quite a lot - your name, a comment, his name, the character's name and the current year. He takes his time signing, and it's a great opportunity for conversation. The more pictures you get, the longer you can talk to him without incurring the wrath of the people behind you. Want your picture taken with Warwick? Just say so - he'll come out from behind the table so you can get a good shot. He had a Polaroid camera on hand for people who want an autographed picture of themselves with him. He had a great selection of photos, so I stocked up and still didn't get half of what was available. I'm not into comics - I went to the convention just to see Warwick, and afterward was very, very happy that I did. If you get a chance to see him, go for it - he's a great guy!
