He made his acting debut as the transgender woman Dil in the thriller movie "The Crying Game" (1992), for which he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Personal life.
Davidson was born in Riverside, California, U.S.A but grew up in Borehamwood in Hertfordshire, England. His father is from Ghana and his mother is from England.
Davidson is gay. During his acting career, he said that his androgynous look alienated him within the gay community; he stated that gay men "love very masculine men. And I'm not a very masculine person. I'm reasonably thin. I have long hair, which isn't very popular with gay men."
Davidson later retired from acting, stating that he "genuinely hated the fame" he was receiving. He became more involved in modelling, and has since worked on several high-profile photo shoots.
