Overview
Jonno Davies (born 17 July 1992) is an English actor born in Chesterfield, best known in the UK and US for his role as Alex DeLarge in the stage production of A Clockwork Orange. In 2020, he appeared in the Amazon Prime series Hunters as Tobias. In May 2022 it was announced that Davies had been cast as British singer Robbie Williams in Better Man, a forthcoming biopic on the adult life of Williams, due for release in early 2024, directed by Michael Gracey.
Education
Davies trained at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts, graduating in 2013. He was Italia Conti's nominee at the Spotlight Prize competition in his final year.
Career
Davies portrayed the lead role of Alex DeLarge in Action to the Word's all-male stage adaptation of A Clockwork Orange. He was initially cast only for the show's tours of Norway and Singapore, in 2014 and 2015 respectively.
The announcement that A Clockwork Orange was to be staged in Singapore generated considerable media interest, as all theatre productions of Anthony Burgess' dystopian classic had been banned in the city-state for over 30 years. Much of the show's promotion and marketing concentrated on the production's all-male cast, and Davies' muscular physique hadn't gone unnoticed, with 8 Days Magazine featuring him as their Shirtless Guy of the Week in the run-up to the show opening at the Esplanade Theatre on 4 November 2015. The Singaporean edition of Esquire Magazine also ran a four-page interview with Davies.
