Davis is enjoying his 9th year in L.A. as a full-time actor, doing
everything from film, TV, theater, & commercials, to stand-up comedy,
to hosting, and even voice-overs through the William Morris Agency in
Los Angeles. It's in the accumulation of this work that Davis finds
himself in that odd but respectable place where many people recognize
him from something, but they're just not sure what.
Originally from Oklahoma City, Davis directed corporate videos to help
put himself through SMU's Meadows School of the Arts cinema production
program in Dallas, Texas, and graduated with a B.A., Cum Laude. Then,
with a degree to fall back on, Davis rekindled his life long passion
for performing, and began touring nationally as a stand-up comedian for
3 years, before settling in Los Angeles.
There he joined Hollywood's premier all-sketch comedy review, ACME
Comedy Theater. After two years there in the main company, he joined up
with The Groundlings, and graduated from their world renowned 4 level
school of improv and sketch.
Along the way, Davis has racked up numerous film and television acting
credits, including ABC's Desperate Housewives, Norm, and Politically
Incorrect With Bill Maher (sketch-comedy), Sony Picture's feature film,
Slackers, Disney Channel's, The Jersey, NBC's Providence, SCI-FI
Channel's The Chronicle, UPN's All of Us, and CBS's Walker: Texas
Ranger. You may have also seen Davis in his many hero roles for
national commercials including Toyota, Budweiser, Circuit City, Sears,
and Quaker. Or perhaps you've heard him as the "voice of" companies
such as Bank of America, Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, and Coors Light.
And of course, Davis was the on-camera host and star of TV Guide's two
year running, Best of Late Night TV, a fast-paced mix of original
comedy, and highlights from the late night talk show, and sketch-comedy
universe (think The Soup, using clips from Letterman, Leno, Conan
O'Brien, SNL, etc.).
Now, Davis, who scrimped and saved to make his own little movie, has
done just that with his award winning short, Boy-Next-Door, which
officially premiered at HBO Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, & went on to
win at WorldFest, Hollywood Shorts, Big Bear Lake Intl., and Key West
Indie Fest ---- also boasting official selections at 24 other notable
festivals, a distributor deal with Shorts International, and a viewer
rating of 5 out of 5 stars in the ubiquitous iTunes Store.
Davis is married, has a young son and daughter, continues to live and
work in L.A., and attributes his involvement in show business to his
Grandfather, Seymour Davis, who was a professional entertainer for 56
years.
