Jim Davis was a prominent American actor and is best remembered for his cowboy acts in several movies and also for his role in the TV series Dallas. Davis’s career had a modest beginning and he initially worked as a tent-rigger in a circus. Fortunately, his job as a salesman took him to Los Angeles, where he could pursue an acting career.

A screen test for MGM did open a few doors for him, but he was only cast in minor roles. After six years of virtual anonymity, he finally broke through with a starring role in the film Winter Meeting . Although his performance in the film received negative reviews, the film led to a series of substantial roles in  rated films. With his height, his nonchalant demeanour and his horse-riding skills, Davis perfectly suited the role of a cowboy.

He was cast in many prominent TV shows as well, and made countless guest appearances. His most famous role arrived right at the twilight of his career with the series Dallas in which he fittingly played a Texan. Even when he was terminally ill, he kept working and was amply rewarded for his roles, which are cherished by his fans.
