Born 2002 in Princeton NJ and discovered at the age of seven by SAG actor Tony Stacey, Leila Jean Davis jumped into acting with a natural talent that has been enhanced by her intensive years of training with SAG actor/Instructor Kathleen Currie. With life-like head shots by brilliant photographers such as Donna Mertz and Paul Sirochman, Leila booked her very first audition and continues to consistently book exciting projects in the film/TV/commercial world.

In 2014, the acclaimed fashion designer/owner at Lainy Gold Designs discovered Leila and immediately added her to her Lainy Gold House Model Team. With Lainy Gold's support, Leila has been seen modeling on runways from Atlantic City to New York City, as well as gracing the pages of New York City's high-fashion magazine publications.

Leila's positive attitude and focused energy along with her natural acting/modeling talent have made her a sought-after talent for many award-winning productions. She's had the pleasure of working closely on-set with industry A-List Directors such as Steven Soderbergh and Joel Schumacher. She's enjoyed creating a popular character with her principal role of the young zombie 'Dorothy Karen Langhorn' in the Lawrence R. Greenberg directed TV series, "Zombie Etiquette". She also relishes bringing to life the role of RED, the good alien in the on-going, award-winning series, "The Invaders: Angie's Logs" with Director Mark Cabaroy.

Leila continues to star in a variety of entertaining commercial productions. And, she is able to leverage her serious side too, when she brings the public's attention to issues like volunteering for under-served foster children and providing meals to the hungry, through her performances in award-winning videos and public service announcements.

The future is shining bright for Leila as she moves forward into her teens. She's intent on increasing her presence in the fashion/modeling world, while continuing to perform on camera for professional productions seeking to bring spark and depth to their teen character roles.

To-date, Leila is the performance recipient of the following industry awards: a Bronze Telly Award, an ADDY Award, a CINE Golden Eagle Award, and a CINE Jury Selection Award.

    • Trivia
      When Celebrity Ghost Stories (2011) was casting for the Ghost of Sugar Ray Leonard, they needed a talented beautiful young girl who could handle a long make-up session. When they heard Leila sits for an hour of make-up for each episode of Zombie Etiquette, they knew she would be an easy transformation to their burned-to-death Ghost Girl.
