Davey, as he likes to be called, has been an actor for over 20 years. He has worked in film television and theatre, appearing in london west end theatre productions such as Billy Elliot , Nicholas Nickleby, Pitman Painters and War Horse. He’s treaded the boards at National Theatre, and Shakespeare Globe to name a few.
In television, he can be seen as Dr Mike Stamford in Sherlock - the man who introduced Holmes to Watson. Working with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. He’s appeared as a series regular in Breeze Block, 55 degrees north and A Confession working once again with Martin Freeman.
Originally from Newcastle, Davey has lived in London since 2005. His discussion with Bill and I took on the theme of coming to terms with his identity as a working class actor, and his loyalty to his roots as well his need to create community wherever he goes.
