Both recipients were named in the New Year Honours list for their respective achievements.
Davis, who was born with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita, a rare form of dwarfism, has long championed awareness and support for others with the condition.
Together with his late wife Samantha, he established the charity Little People UK in 2012 to assist individuals with dwarfism and their families.
His screen career spans decades, with memorable performances including Professor Flitwick and the goblin Griphook in the Harry Potter films, alongside appearances in Star Wars and the travel series An Idiot Abroad with Karl Pilkington.
