This gorgeous actor is known most recently for his role on LOST as a physicist named Daniel Faraday. This role may have been the one to first catch your attention, but it was certainly not his first role. His television debut role was back in 1990 on an episode of Singer & Sons. Shortly after that he appeared on The Wonder Years, Guncrazy, and even Melrose Place. But what gave his career the biggest boost was actually a Suburu commercial in which his character compares the car to punk rock. After the commercial aired, Davies received response from several casting directors with feature film scripts, asking him to audition.

With opportunity knocking at his door, Davies opened it wide. He was cast in many films including Twister, Saving Private Ryan, Solaris, and a host of other lesser known films.

Three reasons to love Jeremy Davies 

The first, of course, is his acting. There is a reason that a simple little Suburu commercial caught the eyes of all those casting agents- his talent is immediately obvious.

His background: He might have been born in California, but he was mostly raised in Michigan and Kansas which grounded him more than many other actors who grew up in Los Angeles or New York. Beyond that, when it came to choosing a surname (because his original name was Jeremy Boring- yuck!), he choose to honor his departed mother's memory by taking her maiden name Davies.

And last, but certainly not least, he's adorable! He's got the sweetness of the "puppy dog" boy- you know, the one who would carry all of your books in school, send you flowers for no reason, and bring you soup if you were sick. Yet, he also has the mystery of the strong / silent type that makes him appear very intelligent and attractive. Crazy how that works.

Am I the only one that thinks JD is the worst actor on TV? It is excruciating watching him on Lost.

Wow, no-one thinks that they are cooler than JD in the vote "what do you think of JD". He should be happy about that one! Good on him, too. He's done well with his acting career.

jeremy is awesome... you only need to watch The Million Dollar Hotel (Wim Wenders) or Dogville (Lars Von Trier) to get instantly captive by his smooth/naive/GRREAT acting.
