Steve Davis

Steve Davis, born in the late '50s out in Plumstead, South London—yeah, that’s the same Steve Davis who made a name for himself way outside the snooker tables. He’s got one of those faces you kinda recognize, even if you can’t immediately place him. Acting credits? He’s racked up a few, for sure. “Harry’s Mad” from ’93—classic British TV, all sorts of weird and wonderful things happening with a talking parrot. Davis popped up there, blending into the madness with that dry, understated delivery only the Brits seem to nail. Then there’s “Make My Day” (2002), which, let’s be real, wasn’t exactly winning any Oscars, but it had its moments—Davis brought a cheeky, everyman charm, the kind that makes you think, “I know a guy just like him down the pub.” And you can’t forget “Swiss Toni” (2003), a comedy that’s all about the misadventures of a used car dealer who thinks selling cars is like, well, everything else in life. Davis slides into these roles, not flashy, but memorable in that low-key, “Oh, he was in that?” kinda way. Off-screen, he was married to Judith Greig, though that chapter’s closed now. All up, Steve Davis isn’t one of those actors plastered on billboards, but he’s got a knack for popping up in places that make you smile, even if just for a second. Just a solid bloke, doing his thing, no drama.
