Ben Davies has been in entertainment since he was in diapers. You probably recognize him from acting in films such as “I’m Not Ashamed”, “Vindication”, or “Courageous”.
His mother, Nise Davies, started a modeling and talent agency in a suburb of Nashville and his father was an all-American athlete. When he was young, Davies wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps. In high school, he was already a six-time All-American and held a National Gold Medal in both the Decathlon and Javelin.
When injuries forced him to have surgery to repair an injured shoulder, Davies cried out to God as his dreams seemed to be slipping away. That same week, Davies auditioned for his role in the movie “Courageous”. The faith that he brings to his own real-life challenges makes his on-screen performances powerful. Davies is also firmly rooted in Christianity where he works through God in every performance. On the set of “I’m Not Ashamed”, he recalls in an interview with Pure Flix, “you can tell when the Lord is working through something and there was no doubt in my mind that His presence was there…”
