TOMMY DAVIDSON's (Rushon) multi-faceted career started with
an impromptu act in a strip club. Since then, Davidson has been
entertaining audiences with his outstanding talent in stand-up,
television, features and music.
Perhaps best known as one of the original cast members of the hit
television show In Living Color, where he came to national
prominence with his dead-on impressions of Sammy Davis, Jr. and
Michael Jackson, among others, Davidson soon parlayed his success
on television into a flourishing motion picture career. He
follows Booty Call with a starring role opposite Jada Pinkett in
the forthcoming romantic comedy, Woo, which opens this fall.
Raised in Washington DC, Davidson's appearances in local talent
showcases quickly led to his opening for such major music stars
as Patti LaBelle, Kenny G and Luther Vandross. After relocating
to Los Angeles, Davidson performed at local comedy venues,
including the Comedy Act Theatre, where he met writer/directors
Robert Townsend and Keenan Ivory Wayans. These allegiances led to
the actor/comedian's first national television appearance, a
starring role in Townsend's Partners in Crime, and the
opportunity to audition for In Living Color.
Davidson subsequently starred in three Showtime specials, an
impressive film debut opposite Halle Berry in Strictly Business,
a reunion with follow In Living Color alum Jim Carrey in Ace
Ventura: When Nature Calls, and stand-up performances around the
world.
He is a favorite guest-host of Later on NBC, and has a series in
development with Columbia TriStar for Fox.
