Jeffrey Bryan Davis (born October 6, 1973) is an American actor, impressionist and comedian. He is known for his work as a recurring performer on the improv comedy show Whose Line Is It Anyway? From July 2016 until October 2019, he has starred as the Goblin Hero Boneweevil on the VRV Direct original production HarmonQuest.[2]
Davis started in commercials, and at age 11 he was cast as Louis in the Broadway production of The King and I with Yul Brynner.[1] A national U.S. tour followed, and, after 750 performances, Davis returned home to attend school.[5]
Davis has toured on "The Improv All Stars" alongside fellow Whose Line stars Drew Carey, Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie, Chip Esten, Brad Sherwood, Kathy Greenwood, and Greg Proops.[5] Davis has been part of two USO tours, and he toured with Stiles, Esten, and Proops doing live shows across the U.S. and Canada. Since April 2014 Davis has been touring with Stiles, Proops, and Joel Murray (who replaced Esten) in the improv-comedy troupe Whose Live Anyway? 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.
Davis was one of the rotating announcers on television's longest-running game show, The Price Is Right, after Rich Fields' departure, until George Gray was chosen as the next permanent announcer.[7] In 2014, Game Show Network announced he would host a game show called The Line.
Starting in 2012 Davis co-hosted the live improvisational comedy podcast Harmontown with Community creator Dan Harmon where he played "Comptroller" to Harmon's "Mayor" role, serving as the show's anchor, announcer, and sidekick[8] until the show ended its run in late 2019.[9] In 2021, Davis, along with Spencer Crittenden and Kevin Day, started the podcast That Happens, wherein conversation is followed by role-playing.[10]
He is often confused with Jeff Davis, the creator of the television series Teen Wolf.[11] In 2020, he appeared on the Teen Wolf episode of Diminishing Returns podcast and gave an interview, posing as the other Jeff Davis.[12]
