«He was a person for whom friendliness and kindness were not just actions but part of his essence. I spoke with many of his friends in recent days, and they all spoke of his generous spirit and love for life.
«We all agree that he had so much more to accomplish in his acting career and in life. No one I spoke to can believe he is no longer with us. We will miss him dearly here at CTG, and all who knew and loved him».
Uenne Davis was known for his role in «The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel», - where he played a supporting character that complemented the show’s rich ensemble. His work in this Emmy-winning series reflected the grounded, character-driven performances for which he became known throughout his career.
Davis lived in Forest Hills, Queens, after moving to New York in his late 20s to pursue performance, initially in stand-up comedy and later in acting. Alongside his work in film and television, he also worked in security at John F. Kennedy International Airport.
In addition to «Mrs. Maisel», - Davis appeared in several other television projects and films, including «New Amsterdam», - «Blindspot», - «Girls5eva», - «American Odyssey», - «Rescue Me», - «Shame», - and «The Normal Heart», - as well as in independent films and shorts.
Davis was fatally struck by an SUV on December 8, 2025, while crossing Broadway near West 53rd Street in downtown Manhattan. He was walking with friends after dinner and was heading to the subway when the incident occurred.
According to police, a 2023 Cadillac XT6 SUV made a left turn as Davis was crossing the street, resulting in serious head and body injuries. Davis was taken to Mount Sinai West Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries. The driver, a 61-year-old man, remained at the scene and has not yet been charged, while the NYPD’s Collision Investigation Squad continues its investigation
