With a mischievous smile, long hair, and a British accent to die for, Davy Jones invaded teen hearts and homes as the breakout heartthrob of the 60's television classic The Monkees. The international idol of millions, Davy has continued to wow audiences worldwide with his solo concerts and numerous television appearances. Although perhaps best known as one of The Monkees, Davy was wowing audiences on Broadway long before television anointed him America's "dream prom date". it was in the BBC Radio Studios of Manchester, England, that Davy's career began at the age of eleven. As Ena Sharples' grandson on the still-running soap opera Coronation Street, Davy made such an impression that theatrical agents found him three years later (working as an apprentice jockey in Newmarket) and brought him to London. There he would appear as The Artful dodger in the smash hit West End production of Oliver! Davy also originated the role on Broadway, and at age sixteen, found himself the toast of New York, complete with a Tony Award nomination. Davy was soon offered a contract with Columbia Pictures/Screen Gems Television, and the rest is history. The Monkees television series won the Emmy Award for Outstanding television Series of 1966, and was an international smash, reaching millions of viewers. Album sales surpassed all records and continued to be best sellers 30 years later. It is the theatre, however, that remains Davy's first love. Since the 70's, Davy has appeared in national touring companies of Oliver!, reprising the role of the Artful Dodger, and later appearing as Fagin, which received rave reviews. He has starred in productions of The Boyfriend, Harry Nillson's The Point (in London's West End), and Godspell. Davy's most famous guest spot is the classic episode of The Brady Bunch which remains the most aired re-run in television history. he also appeared in he 1995 film, The Brady Bunch Movie. Davy is an accomplished writer as well, and will soon finish his autobiography, Davy Jones: Daydream Believin', which updates his life and career to the present. A regular on the charity sports circuit, Davy's proudest effort for charity was a successful completion of the London Marathon in 3 hours, 40 minutes. An extremely able horseman, Davy maintains his amateur jockey license and on February 1, 1996, Davy won his first race under rules in England, riding his ace horse, Digpast. Davy continues to ride and train winners, and has serious aspirations of training any one of numerous racehorses for a Maryland cup victory. Judging from Davy's many accomplishments and successes thus far, it is clear to see he is the true incarnation of a Daydream Believer! Davy's Fan Club Davy's Daydream Believers Attn.
