Tom Davis

Tom Davis is a writer, actor and stand-up comedian best known for his breakout show Murder in Successville (2015). The cult BBC3 series, which he co-wrote with James De Frond, is a mix of cop show meets reality TV, and Successville is a surreal place with a high celebrity homicide count. DI Sleet (Davis) enlists the help of a genuine celebrity sidekick to solve the latest high-profile case. Tom's follow-up series Action Team (2018) is a six-part spoof spy action-thriller following the exploits of a top-secret team of special agents working for the British government and charged with saving the world. Starring alongside Tom are BAFTA winning actress Vicky McClure, Derek Riddell, Jim Howick, Stephen Graham and Kayode Ewumi. Tom was chosen by an industry panel to be part of BAFTA's 'Breakthrough Brits' in association with Burberry initiative, which highlights and supports exciting and emerging talent in film, TV, production and gaming each year. The programme has supported the likes of Florence Pugh, Josh O'Connor, Alex Lawther, Letitia Wright, Stacy Martin and Tom Holland. In 2009, Tom filmed a few sketches with De Frond, who was working on Cha'mone Mo'Fo'Selecta! A Tribute to Michael Jackson (2009) as a producer, to give to Leigh Francis, who then invited Tom to appear on the show. Tom has since continued to build his reputation as a multi-talented stand-up comedian, writer and actor, appearing in The Morgana Show (2010), Bad Education (2012), Drunk History: UK (2015), Cockroaches (2015), Big School (2013), The Comic Strip Presents (1982) and Plebs (2013). In film, Tom has been seen in Free Fire (2016), [link-=tt5154288] and in Paddington 2 (2017) as the memorable 'T-Bone'.
