      Brad Davis was born in Florida in 1949. He moved to Georgia after graduating from high school to pursue an acting career. From there, he moved to New York City, twice, to find work. By the early 1970s Davis was acting in off-Broadway plays while studing acting at the Academy of Dramatic Arts. His stage work led to his movie debut and to television shows such as the hit Sybil (1976) (TV) and the mini-series Roots (1977) (mini).

      He is best remembered for his film debut as Billy Hayes, the American incarcerated for drug smuggling in Alan Parker's harrowing Midnight Express (1978).

      He followed this as a 1960s Harvard student in the weak A Small Circle of Friends (1980), a small role as an Olympic runner in the Oscar-winning Chariots of Fire (1981), and as a gay sailor in Fassbinder's last film, Querelle (1982), but never achieved the success his impressive debut seemed to promise.

      His later credits include Cold Steel, Heart (both 1987), the very amusing Rosalie Goes Shopping (1989), and Hangfire (1991), as well as the TV mini-series Robert Kennedy and His Times (1985), and the telefilms Sybil (1976), A Rumor of War (1980), Robert Altman's production The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial (1988, as Queeg), and the Habitation of Dragons (1992), his last work before his death of complications of AIDS, which he had contracted in 1979 from either a dirty needle during shooting cocaine or through heterosexual contact.

      Before he died, Davis wrote a book proposal (later published) that attacked the Hollywood community for its attitude in dealing with AIDS victims.

      He left a wife, Susan Bluestein, and a child.
