Jonathan Daviss        

Activist & Actor Known for Netflix's "Outer Banks"

Jonathan Daviss is an American actor who is best known for his performance as Pope in the 2020 Netflix series Outer Banks. Daviss is from Conroe, Texas, and later moved to Los Angeles, California, to pursue a career in acting.

Daviss initially worked as a sales executive with an insurance company. He later plunged into full-time acting with the 2013 series "Revolution." After appearing in "Deliverance Creek," "Shattered Memories," and "Age of Summer," he landed the role of Pope Heyward in "Outer Banks."

Daviss also supports many social causes, such as the BLM movement. He feels the issue of George Floyd’s death is very close to his heart, as George was from his hometown and his funeral was held at a church where Jonathan has been to several times. Daviss recalls that his father had once told him that after he turns 14, he is at the risk of being killed by the police just because he is a “young black man.”
