However, his parents divorced and he was sent to The Dragon School, which is a boarding school, and then went to Cheltenham College because his parents did not want him to stay home while the divorce was on. Davenport had never thought of being an actor, but his acting career began when he took a sabbatical year after being admitted to Cheltenham College. He was at a summer drama ceremony, and the director of The Welsh National Theatre invited him to work in the theatre, so at the age of 18, he ended up in Wales, working in theatre. The following year he entered the University of East Anglia (UEA), at which he studied film and English literature.
Concerning his professional career, he debuted in the role of Miles Stewart in the BBC TV drama series “This Life” in 1996 and ’97, through which he became known, and since which Davenport has had roles in many successful movies and television series.
