NarniaWeb.com reports that Warwick Davis — whose roles include an Ewok in Return of the Jedi (1983) and its TV spin-offs, a Hogwarts professor in the Harry Potter movies (2001-2007, so far) and the title role in Willow (1988) — is going to play Nikabrik the Black Dwarf in next year’s The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
The interesting thing is, Davis has already appeared in another version of Prince Caspian — i.e., the 1989 BBC version which combined this story with Voyage of the Dawn Treader — in which he played a rather gigantic Reepicheep. The part of Nikabrik would seem to be a better fit, as it were.
This gets me wondering: Have any other actors appeared in more than one set of dramatizations of the Narnia stories?
As for Trumpkin the Red Dwarf, it was announced a few days ago that he will be played by Peter Dinklage, whose better-known films include Living in Oblivion (1995), The Station Agent (2003), Elf (2003) and the most recent version of Lassie (2005).
