Daniel Davis: From The Nanny To Star Trek (and Why He Fooled Us!)
Have you ever been completely fooled by an actor's portrayal of a character? Daniel Davis, with his uncanny ability to embody the quintessential British butler and the cunning Professor Moriarty, has left audiences worldwide questioning his true nationality.
Daniel Davis, born on November 26, 1945, is an American actor whose career spans film, television, and stage. While he might be most recognizable as Niles, the sardonic butler from the hit sitcom "The Nanny" (1993-1999), his talent extends far beyond comedic timing. Davis has also garnered critical acclaim for his portrayal of Professor Moriarty in "Star Trek: The Next Generation," a role he revisited in "Star Trek: Picard." What makes these performances particularly remarkable is Davis's flawless execution of an upper-class English accent, leading many to believe he hails from across the pond.
