Tom Davis

Tom Davis is a British actor and comedian from London, best known for his role as DI Sleet in the BBC Three comedy Murder in Successville. Appearing on the BBC Two show I'll Get This in June 2020, he quipped to fellow celebrity dinner guests that he was the only diner who couldn't afford to buy a house in London, his home town.

Before television, Davis worked as a scaffolder, market stall trader and a stand-up comedian . When his friend was working as a runner on Bo' Selecta, they gave some videos of their own comedy sketches to Leigh Francis, who then invited Davis to appear on the show. He appeared in various comedy roles on TV over the following years. In 2015 he co-created and starred in Murder in Successville. This semi-improvised show, in which a celebrity guest must help DI Sleet solve a fictional crime, became a cult hit. In 2016, Davis was named a BAFTA Breakthrough Brit and appeared in the films Free Fire and Prevenge.
