“An enormously empathetic performer... The show’s great asset is Davis. This really is a very complex performance…”
Welcome, you're in the right place.
E.M. Davis here — I am a trans/non-binary actor and proud member of Actors Equity and SAG-AFTRA who, eight months ago, moved from Chicago to Los Angeles.
Currently, I’m in Palm Springs rehearsing to be the first trans actor to ever fill the role of Frog in Heidi Schreck’s magnificent play Grand Concourse, produced by Dezart Performs. Before this, I was in the acclaimed Pasadena Playhouse production of Cyrano de Bergerac, starring Chukwudi Iwuji (Guardians of the Galaxy III) and directed by Mike Donahue.
A recipient of the inaugural Sarah Siddons Society Professional Development Grant, I have had the pleasure of working onstage with South Coast Repertory, Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Goodman Theatre, Colorado New Play Festival, Northlight Theatre, and A Red Orchid Theatre, among others. Onscreen, I worked opposite T.L. Thompson and Brittany Adebumola in The CW's 4400, was one of the faces of the JobsOhio campaign during March Madness, and the story of my transition is featured in the documentary I Am Me.
After my successful tenure as Artistic Director of the award-winning Broken Nose Theatre, I have expanded my focus to producing films as well. The first self-funded short, I'm Pretty Sure My Therapist Thinks I'm a Bad Actor, in which I star opposite Elizabeth Laidlaw (CBS's The Red Line), made its West Coast Premiere at Dances with Films LA, received “Best Comedy Short” at the FunnyAF Festival, and won “Best Writing in a Comedy” at the Oscar-Qualifying Micheaux Film Festival.
My second self-produced short, How’d It Go, directed by Laidlaw and featuring SAG Ensemble Winner Jose Cervantes (FX's The Bear), is currently in post-production.
Take a look around. Enjoy your stay. And if you're looking for your friendly queer neighborhood Spider-Man, you now know where to find me!
P.S. I’m currently seeking an L.A.-based agency with a foothold in other markets. If you’re a West Coast agent or know someone who is, I’d love to hear from you/them. Thanks so much!
