An actor who appeared in the Star Wars and Harry Potter films has died.
Paul Grant, who played an Ewok in Return of the Jedi and a goblin in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, collapsed outside King’s Cross station in London last Thursday afternoon.
Grant was rushed to the hospital where doctors declared him brain dead.
As well as Star Wars and Harry Potter, the 4′,4″ actor also co-starred with Tom Cruise in Legend (1985), David Bowie in Labyrinth (1986), and Val Kilmer in Willow (1988).
A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called at 2.08pm on Thursday 16 March to reports of an incident at St Pancras Station, Euston Road.
“We sent an ambulance crew and a medic in a response car. We treated a man at the scene and took him to hospital as a priority.”
Grant is survived by his girlfriend Maria, his two daughters, one son, and his stepchildren and grandchildren.
A GoFundMe page has been set up by Grant’s stepdaughter, who wrote: “I’m starting this page as Paul sadly passed away yesterday and I would like to give him the best send off he would want.”
Tributes were paid to the late actor on social media following the sad news of his sudden passing.
