Tony nominated actor, and Arkansas native, Daniel Davis opens tonight in an Off Broadway revival of the Strindberg play Dance of Death.  Though best known for his stint on TV as Niles in “The Nanny”

Davis was born in Gurdon, but his family moved to Little Rock.  His first acting gig was appearing on the local TV show “Betty’s Little Rascals.” He graduated from Little Rock Hall High and subsequently studied at the Arkansas Arts Center (which then offered advanced studies in theatre).

He received a Tony Award nomination in 2000 for the play Wrong Mountain.  Other Broadway credits include Henry V, Othello, Amadeus, The Invention of Love, The Frogs, La Cage aux Folles.  He has also appeared frequently in regional theatre and Off Broadway.

Dance of Death runs through May 4 in New York City.
