- Lindsay Brooke Davis was born in Queens, New York to Dale Davis, an elementary public school guidance school counselor and Martin Davis, a salesman. She grew up on Long Island as a high honor roll student studying jazz, tap and ballet, performing in school musicals, and playing violin in the Suzuki program. Lindsay gave up the performing arts to focus on sports, another area in which she thrived, earning All-State and an All-American nomination in soccer.
Lindsay was pre-med and on the Varsity Soccer team at Cornell University when she found herself feeling drawn to the performing arts & literature. Her roommate suggested she audition for Anything Goes, Cornell's original and only song and dance troupe (founded in 1993) and she became a member, performing solo selections from a few of her favorite musicals, among them: Chicago, Rent, Chess and more. After earning her B.A. in English from Cornell and while working at New York Magazine, Lindsay went for an open call for The Donkey Show (dir. Diane Paulus) musical and while she didn't book the show, she made it to the final 10 out of approximately 250 musical theater artists. She was so inspired by that experience and in the wake of 9/11 (at which point she was considering law school and took the LSATs) she decided to devote herself to acting and pursue her passion for the performing arts as a career.
Lindsay dove into training with some of New York's elite acting coaches and performed in short plays, open mics, poetry slams, and an abundance of student films at NYU, NYFA and The New School. Her first TV role in 2008 was a guest star on the IFC series Z Rock. She joined the theater company Ticket 2 Eternity and began writing, producing, directing, and starring in her own plays. Actors currently working in Hollywood who have appeared in Lindsay's plays include Orange is the new Black's Christina Toth and 911's Jake Green. Lindsay went on to perform in over 25 works of New York theatre, from eclectic musicals and comedies to serious dramas. She also drew on her years studying in Cornell's prestigious English department and became a leading theater critic for Passport Magazine's Broadway Blog, reviewing Broadway, Off-Broadway, festivals, and cabaret performances as well as conducting interviews with British pop culture stars from Peter Frampton to Ben Howard for BBC America. She had commercial and legit representation, booking several leads in TV and film, including guest star roles on ID's true crime series I Am Homicide and Six Degrees of Murder.
In April 2019, Lindsay decided to take her talents across the country to LA and pursue her career in Hollywood. Since moving west, she has booked a lead as a drug & alcohol counselor in the Vimeo Staff Pick short film and festival favorite, Intake. She featured in Bride of the Dead as a nurse, SmartyPants Vitamins commercial as a drummer, and hip hop artist Yung Gravy's music video with over 3 million views. Lindsay returned to her music passion again via writing/recording/releasing her original songs on all streaming platforms. Her 2022 EDM single My Love Is Here has close to 10K streams.
So far in 2023, Lindsay has booked three commercial spots (MUD WTR, TOYOTA and MOJO Wellbeing) while auditioning for legit work. She also teaches fitness classes at Equinox (for over a decade), models for yoga apparel, and is an on-camera cycling trainer for BOWFLEX fitness.
