While preparing to play the role of an FBI agent in the film Profiler, Robert Davy constantly repeated a favorite quote from President John F. Kennedy - "When power corrupts, only poetry can cleanse." These words became the basis for Davy, who was going to play a sympathetic and kind person after a long string of dark villains.
Robert Davy was born in Astoria, New York, and grew up on Long Island in a classic blue-collar family. He had a funny incident at school. Robert loved to sing and sang wherever he could. One day, when he was enjoying the walls of the school locker room with his vocals, a nun passing by along the street was so struck by his voice that she persuaded her parents to send her son to an opera competition. Davy won, went on an internship in Italy, where he studied with Tito Gobby in Florence, and at the age of 19 he made his debut in the Long Island Opera.
Davy studied drama at Hofstra University but dropped out shortly before graduating to get a job as a waiter. Due to the constant dismissals, he had to change jobs all the time, but he could study at the acting studio of Lee Strasberg. In 1978, he began his acting career - Robert got the lead role in the TV movie "Contract on Cherry Street". The second character is played by Frank Sinatra. After filming, Robert remains in Los Angeles, interrupted by small roles, mostly villains. By 1990, he participated in such films as Die Hard, Predator-2, Son of the Pink Panther, Wild Orchid 2, Christopher Columbus, Strippers, and in the future he already faces the role of a villain in the next Bondian - License to Kill with Timothy Dalton.
