Although there’s not quite as much literal blood spilling, the world of New York City publishing rivalries does bear some similarities to the centuries long vampire feuds of The Originals. So, it was fitting when Davis joined the Sutton Foster and Hilary Duff dramedy Younger in the show’s fourth season. As Zane Anders, an editor who eventually got hired on at Empirical Press and became the on-again, off-again romantic partner of Duff’s character Kelsey, Davis got an opportunity to put his natural charisma to use in an entirely different setting than fans of his work had seen him in before.
Despite often playing characters with a penchant for rubbing people the wrong way, Davis had no trouble getting along with his Younger castmates in the real world. When asked about his onscreen chemistry with Duff during an interview with South Africa’s Channel 24, Davis said, “Hilary is very down to earth and fun… and I enjoyed working with her from the start. We just started talking, and she was easy to chat with… that helps offscreen to form the relationship onscreen.”
So, even if you were put off by Agent Carter’s introduction as Agent Carter, take solace in the fact that the cast of NCIS: NOLA is probably thrilled to be working with someone with Davis’ charms.
