His mother Susan J. was a home maker and his father was an insurance worker. He belonged from a middle-class family and had to face a lot of financial difficulties in various stages of his life. He visited the Chinthurst School as a primary school student. The school was near to their house so his mother found it really convenient to manage.
Later, he attended the City of London Freemen’s School as a high school student. His father had received various promotions by this time and had sent him to a very renowned school. At an early age, he was detected with dwarfism. The disease was known as Spondylopiphyseal dysplasia congenita. It is a rare form of dwarfism and required a lot of care. He spent a lot of time with his grandmother and at the young age of eleven only, he made his first debut in the film industry.

He was very close to the director Mark Hamill.
After his debut, he used to work with the Ewok as an extra crew member. He was made permanent in the crew by replacing Kenny Baker who fell ill and could not take part. He took part in the Return of the Ewok which was directed by David Tomblin. Though it was filmed successfully but it was not released. After this, he also worked in the films Ewoks : The Battle for Endor. He became a favourite to the directors soon and the film Willow was written especially keeping him in mind. He signed a number of popular films after that like The Chronicles of Narnia, the Silver chair, the Voyage of the Dawn Treader and many more.
He even got the chance in the movie Harry Potter. He was chosen for the role of Professor Filius Flitwick. In the first two series of the film, he played the same role and in the third series of the film, he played the role of the chorus conductor with black hair.
