Best known as one of the stars of the hit television show "In Living Color," his visibility has allowed him to become a household name known for his innovative talent. Davidson started his career as a standup comedian in Washington D.C., earning an ardent following. Spotted by major concert promoters, he was first booked as the opening act for Patti LaBelle, Kenny G and Luther Vandross. It wasn’t long before he came to Hollywood and was headlining the biggest rooms and met Robert Townsend. This led to his first national tv appearance and starring role in "Partners in Crime," the conduit to Keenan Ivory Wayans, who proved instrumental in Davidson’s career by offering him an opportunity to audition.

White’s comedic feature "The Outlaw Johnny Black"; as well as guest appearances in BET+’s "The Ms. Pat Show," the Netflix special "Sarah Cooper: Everything’s Fine," and Showtime’s comedy series "I’m Dying Up Here." The multihyphenate is perhaps best known for starring in the groundbreaking sketch comedy series "In Living Color," there becoming a standout with his impressions of Sammy Davis Jr., Michael Jackson and other entertainment icons. His performance on the series resulted in three Showtime specials: "On Strength of New York," "Illin’ in Philly," and "Takin’ it to DC." Davidson also hosted and starred in the network’s "Chocolate Sundaes Comedy Show," as well as three seasons of ABC’s "Vacation Creation." Davidson voiced the series regular role of Cream Corn in the Adult Swim action-comedy spoof "Black Dynamite, and has also made guest appearances in everything from MTV’s "Wild ‘N Out" to BET’s "Real Husbands of Hollywood" and ABC’s "Celebrity Wife Swap." He also recently headlined The Off Color Comedy Tour with Keenan Ivory Wayans, Shawn Wayans and David Alan Grier, and toured with Mike Epps and Martin Lawrence, having launched his career as a stand-up comic in Washington, D.C. Davidson’s feature credits include Spike Lee’s "Bamboozled," Morgan Creek’s "Juwanna Mann," "Ace Ventura II: When Nature Calls" opposite Jim Carrey, and "Strictly Business" opposite Halle Berry among others.
