Biography

Sonny Carl Davis embarked on a remarkable career in the 1970s, setting the stage for a lifelong journey in the entertainment industry. His initial foray into the music scene in Austin, Texas, was with the Uranium Savages, a group that blended music and comedy, showcasing talents through songs like "Edie Amin is my Yardman" and "Kill Yourself".

This early exposure led to an opportunity to collaborate with Eagle Pinnell, a local filmmaker, on the short film "A Hell Of A Note". The success of this project paved the way for Davis to appear in the feature film "The Whole Shootin' Match", which garnered critical acclaim at prominent festivals, including the Sundance Film Festival.

As his career continued to flourish, Davis made the move to Los Angeles, where he secured roles in notable films such as "Melvin & Howard", "Where the Buffalo Roam", and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High". His portrayal of the irate customer demanding a refund from Judge Reinhold's character, Brad, remains a memorable moment in the latter film.

In 1986, Davis appeared in the horror classic "TerrorVision", directed by Ted Nicolaou. This marked the beginning of a long-standing relationship with Charles Band, President of Full Moon Features, with whom he would go on to collaborate on the "Evil Bong" series, playing the beloved character "Rabbitt".

Throughout his extensive career, Davis has appeared in numerous films and television productions, delivering standout performances in projects such as "Last Night at the Alamo" and "Bernie". He has consistently demonstrated a knack for taking on significant roles in independent films and smaller parts in larger productions.

Today, Davis continues to work in the industry, solidifying his reputation as a talented and versatile actor. His enduring popularity as "Rabbitt" in the "Evil Bong" series is a testament to his ability to connect with audiences and leave a lasting impact on the world of entertainment.
