According to hisStill Watching Netflix interview, he considers it his hometown, and one of his favorite places there is the La Palma Tacos restaurant. Jonathan revealed toA Book of Us magazinethat he grew up surrounded by dirt trails and back roads.

They eventually saw it but decided not to approach it out of fear. Jonathan remembers local newspapers publishing the story with pictures of the alligator basking in the sun.

Based on hisFlaunt Magazine interview, one of the two remaining sisters,likely DJ, is nine years his senior and taught him to be mature and plan his future from a young age. His parents,Jon P. Daviss,a talent manager at J. E. Entertainment, andYulanda Creamer-Daviss, always encouraged him and his sisters to pursue their goals and prepare for the sacrifices. Jonathan has at least two aunts,Cheryl Jacksonand Jewel.

Early education, source of career

Jonathan was drawn to movies as a kid, as he found escape in watching them, and frequently saw extra material such as behind-the-scenes features and director’s commentary.

Jonathan matriculated from Conroe High School, where he played football. He was a bookworm in school, but said that some could view him as a class clown, as he was effortlessly funny despite not talking much. Jonathan toldEUPHORIA Magazinethat while in high school, he aimed to be a straight-A student and attended Advanced Placement (AP) classes which were university-level courses. Jonathan went to the same schoolas Joseph Osai, the defensive end for the Cincinnati Bengals football club, and they were friends. His mom sold her family home when he was around 17, and the family moved to California, US.

Career

Jonathan debuted by playing a kid in an episode of the ABC television series “Revolution” in 2013. A year later, he played Samuel Washington in his first TV movie, “Deliverance Creek,” then returned three years later as Young Spike in the short film “All the Marbles.” According toExpress UK, Jonathan worked as a sales associate at Saks OFF 5TH, a women’s designer clothing and handbags store, and charged Bird scooters at night to support himself financially. In 2018, he ramped up the number of auditions and starred in two movies, “Edge of the World” as Jay Tibbs and “Age of Summer” as Mathis, and one television movie, “Shattered Memories” as Teddy.

Starring in “OB”

In April 2020, Jonathan appeared in the action-adventure mystery series “OB” as one of the main characters, Pope. He played one of the Pogues, the series’ name for working-class residents living near The Cut, the bad side of the town. The Kooks, the wealthier citizens, were frequently compared and contrasted with the Pogues. Jonathan played the smartest of his friends, called “brains of the operation”by another main character, John B. Routledge. Played by Chase Stokes, John is the ringleader of the Pogues, and his father’s disappearance is central to the plot.

Portraying Pope

In his Still Watching Netflix interview, Jonathan stated that he fell in love with his character’s determination, as Pope would do anything to reach his goals and would excel. He assumed that his passion for battles in anime series contributed to that preference. Jonathan also revealed toVulkan Magazinethat Pope was similar to him in high school. Thus, getting the call back after the audition, for which he prepared with acting coach Kelly Hare, was one of the happiest days of his life.

Another favorite day was when his mother organized a surprise trip to Disneyland in 2019. He said that his family could never afford the visit, so he had goosebumps when his mother told him to pack his things during the break from filming the first season. Jonathan also said that his relationship with his parents inspired his portrayal of Pope. It taught him that young people frequently disagree with their parents, even when they love each other profoundly and communicate regularly.

Jonathan also revealed that his characterwas supposed to be stabbedat the end of the inaugural season, which would end on a cliffhanger. The writers altered the script before filming, perhaps because they recognized Jonathan’s acting chops. According to hisFlaunt Magazine interview, Jonathan especially enjoyed driving the boat, as he was a beach fan.

Social media and modeling

Jonathan is primarily active on Instagram, the platform on which his account,jonathandavissofficial, has amassed over four million followers. Besides revealing his talents and posting images and pictures from his travels, he has appeared in many posts with his “OB” co-stars, Chase and Rudy Pankow, whom he befriended. Jonathan has also been modeling clothes, mainly denim jeans and jackets, coats and suits, and jewelry such as golden chains, earrings, and rings.

Moreover, he has shared pictures from his photoshoots for Vulkan Magazine and Flaunt Magazine, and covers ofA Book Of print magazine issued in July 2021, andthe digital version of EUPHORIA Magazine, published in February 2023. Furthermore, Jonathanmodeled for Hugo Boss and Russell Athleticbrands at the Milan Show 2021 in Milan, Italy.

He toldNumeroMag.nlthat he loves fashion because ‘it is a visual expression that everyone can relate to, and allows people to show who they are, what their mood is, and what they care about.’ Jonathan admitted that starring in the Netflix drama inspired him to wear more beach-oriented clothing and footwear, particularly colorful unbuttoned shirts and Birkenstock sandals.

Jonathan is moderately active on his TikTok account, @jonathandaviss, on which he has amassed 2.3 million followers. His content is similar to his Instagram account’s, with the addition of comedy skits and challenges.

Plans

Netflix announced the fourth “OB” season in February 2023, shortly before the third premiere; hence, Jonathan should return in 2024. He told EUPHORIA magazine that he is excited to reprise his role but is also keen to star in indie projects that people would consider unsafe career choices and more movies. As a reminder, Jonathan played Elliott in the 2022 “Do Revenge” movie; he told Vulkan Magazine that he plans to have a lengthy career.

Moreover, he might develop his singing career. According toJonathan’s IMDb profile, he performed “Paid in Full” in the ninth episode of the first season of “OB” and “Charlie, Last Name, Wilson” in a Teen Vogue video interview in which the journalist dared the “OB” cast to do various things. Extra evidence of his desire to pursue music projects camein December 2023; Jonathan shared a picture on Instagram in which he appeared to sing and play the guitar while a friend recorded the audio on a Mac laptop for production.

Jonathan has also shared dozens of his drawings via Instagram, primarily of superheroes, and mentioned that he considered becoming an animator. He started sketching in high school and drew in every notebook at home, but he never felt confident enough to color them until late 2023,when artist Paris Alleyne encouraged him.

Moreover, Jonathan produced the short film entitled “Toledo,” which was in post-production in December 2023, and in which he will likely appear. That’s not all; he admitted to Flaunt Magazine that he wants to become a director. Outside of stories that mean a lot to him, he would like to direct sci-fi projects with creative plots. Jonathan initially felt inspired when actor Michael B. Jordan transitioned from acting to directing. He wants to work with directors Jordan Peele, Ryan Coogler, and Taika Waititi.

Jonathan’s dream role is playing Miles Morales, the version of the Spider-Man superhero played by a black man. Another superhero he would like to play is Static Shock, and a person he would like to portray is André 3000, a rapper from the Outkast group.
