HBO Says Time is Right for Ricky Gervais’s ‘Life’s Too Short’

Written and directed by Mr. Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the creators of “The Office” and “Extras,” “Life’s Too Short” takes a documentary-style look at the life of Warwick Davis, the 3-foot-6-inch actor who starred in “Return of the Jedi,” “Willow” and the “Harry Potter” films – only in this fictionalized account, Mr. Davis is a self-promoting schemer who runs a talent agency as a front to keep his own acting career afloat.
