Biography

Jeff Davis was born in Los Angeles and raised in Whittier, California. He began his acting career at the age of four at the Groundlings Theater in Hollywood, playing Linus in You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown.

Davis started in commercials when he was four years old, and at age 11 was cast as Louis in the Broadway production of The King and I with Yul Brynner. A national tour followed and, after 750 performances, Davis returned home to attend school.

Career

Davis began performing with various improv troupes. He also worked with the short video website Channel 101.com and was in the Dan Harmon series Laser Fart. Soon after, he landed a recurring role on the improv series Whose Line Is It Anyway?. His comedic timing won over comedian Steve Martin and the other producers of The Downer Channel, earning Davis a spot in the cast of the comedy sketch/reality series in 2001. He also has appeared in the television series The Norm Show, The Drew Carey Show and The Jamie Kennedy Experiment. Davis appeared in the acclaimed telefilm Tuesdays With Morrie and was a series regular in Happy Family, opposite Christine Baranski and John Larroquette, in the fall of 2003. He played the role of an attorney in the October 9th, 2008 episode of The Sarah Silverman Program.

Davis currently resides in Los Angeles and he has toured on the "The Improv All Stars" alongside fellow Whose Line Is It Anyway stars Drew Carey, Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie, Chip Esten, Brad Sherwood, Kathy Greenwood and Greg Proops. Davis has also been part of two USO tours and tours with Stiles, Esten and Proops doing live shows in various cities nation-wide and Canada. He was often used in games that required improvisational singing and usually partnered with Wayne Brady on Whose Line and Esten on Drew Carey's Green Screen Show or live tours. He still performs live improv shows with Esten, Proops and Stiles under the name Whose Live Anyway? and they regularly tour around the country and Canada.

Davis was one of the rotating announcers on television's longest running game show The Price Is Right after Rich Fields' departure. Davis often modeled prizes (prizes oriented towards men such as watches, men's clothing, and occasionally a musical instrument are usually modeled by the announcer) and participated in games where the model traditionally participates (when only two models are available). However, George Gray eventually got the job.
