Wendy Davis grew up in a small town just outside Baltimore Maryland. She earned a Degree in Theatre from Howard University. After graduation, Wendy moved to Los Angeles CA to pursue her acting career.

Wendy first big break came on the television series, "High Incident", DreamWorks SKG's first one-hour series. Wendy was hand picked by living legend Steven Spielberg to star in the series. Of her performance in the pilot episode “The Hollywood Reporter” wrote, "The large and strikingly good looking cast all make outstanding first impressions, and Wendy Davis is magnificent as a cop's widow". Later Wendy was cast as a detective on "EZ Street", a one-hour drama produced by Paul Haggis, Academy Award winning writer of "Million Dollar Baby" and writer/director of "Crash". Her other series are "The New WKRP In Cincinnati", and "In Our Lives." Wendy has starred in several films, her credits include "Rendezvous" "Return To Two Moon Junction" "Reptile Man" "Trapped" and her most recent "Mother Ghost" starring Kevin Polack, Mark Thompson and Dana Delaney.

Wendy has guest starred on many TV shows. Her credits include "Commander and Chief", "Cold Case", "Grey's Anatomy", "The District", "Angel", "Any Day Now", "The Steven Weber Show", "Profiler", "The Gregory Hines Show", "Coach", "South Of Sunset", "Martin”, and "Between Brothers". Wendy received a Drama Logue Award for her performance in the play "Talking With".

[img]“Army Wives”, Wendy’s current project has an incredible team behind it, starting with executive producer Mark Gordon (Grey’s Anatomy, Criminal Minds, Saving Private Ryan). Of “Army Wives” Wendy said “Every once and a while you’ll find a project that really speaks to you, a project that is important to you because of the context, and the people you represent. “Army Wives” is that way for me. It is an honor and a privilege to tell the stories of Army Wives. It time people got to know these real unsung Hero’s”.

When Wendy isn’t working on a set she loves contributing to others by teaching acting classes at The Los Angles Actors Center. She is dedicated to training and developing actors to work professionally in film and TV. Of teaching Wendy said, “There’s a great old saying that cracks me up, it goes something like this. There are those who do, and the rest teach. LOL. My version of this old saying is. There are those who do, there are those who teach, and there are those who do and teach. I love teaching. There’s something really humbling about being entrusted with the training of another person. I don’t take it lightly. I understand the ups and downs of the business, and I know what competencies actors need to be successful working professionals. "There’s nothing like passing it on."

Thanks for the post. Since I watch Lifetime TV a lot, I've caught on to Army Wives. I believe that she plays the character called Joan , who is a Lt. Colonel in the series. Anyways I've gotten to like the program and am looking forward to the next episode each Sunday.
