Wendy Davis caught the acting bug in college while attending Howard University, where she earned a B.A. in theater. Upon graduation, Davis landed guest-starring roles on many television series, but her first big break came when she was cast as a series regular on the ABC drama series “High Incident.” Her additional television credits include “Commander in Chief,” “Cold Case,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “The District,” “Angel,” “Coach,” “Between Brothers,” “Profiler,” “Smart Guy” and “In Living Color.”

Her feature film credits include “Rendezvous,” “Return to Two Moon Junction,” “Mother Ghost,” “Reptile Man” and “Trapped.” Davis also received a Drama League Award for her performance in the play “Talking With.”

Davis is dedicated to training and developing actors to work professionally in film and television. She is the owner and instructor of the Los Angeles Actor Center, a resource center for actors.

Davis, originally from Joppatowne, Maryland, resides in Los Angeles.
Raised on the tough streets of Chicago’s South Side, Joan Burton overcame a troubled youth by becoming a Citadel cadet. Through grit and determination, Joan defied expectations and rose through the ranks, becoming Fort Marshall’s first African American female lieutenant colonel — commanding more than 400 men. She has taken on deployments worldwide, including a difficult tour of duty in Afghanistan that caused her to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder a few years ago.

Placing the military before marriage has caused Joan problems with her husband, psychiatrist Roland Burton, but that is in the past. Her life is totally different now that Joan has had a baby girl (Sarah Elizabeth) and her husband plans to be a stay-at-home dad. Solider versus mother woes kicked in when Joan grappled with getting her redeployment orders, not wanting to leave her hubby or newborn daughter behind.
