Lauren Laverne here.
We're taking our Easter break, so until we're back on air,
we're showcasing a few programmes from our archive for you.
As usual, the music's been shortened for rights reasons.
This week's guest is the actor Warwick Davis, who was awarded the BAFTA Fellowship this year.
Kirsty Young cast him away in 2016.
My castaway this week is the actor Warwick Davis.
Hollywood blockbusters, TV sitcoms, documentaries, horror movies, quiz shows, Christmas pantos.
He's been at it since the tender age of 11.
Not just surviving an early start in showbiz, but using it to build a flourishing long-term career.
Then again, bucking the odds is something of a habit.
Born with a very rare genetic disorder,
the doctors thought he'd be wheelchair-bound and die in his teens.
Well...
I can happily confirm that my 46-year-old castaway walked into the studio today apparently in robust health.
He says, the reason I became a performer was because I was short.
And growing up, I had to be larger than life, had to be funnier.
I had to be louder, be bolder than everybody at school.
Otherwise, I'd get left out.
That was my apprenticeship for being a performer.
