Hey there, TV fans! If you were glued to your screens in the '90s for "The Nanny," you probably remember the hilariously posh and witty butler, Niles. Played by the supremely talented Daniel Davis, this character was a fan favorite. Now, let's rewind to 1999 when the show wrapped up. What’s Daniel Davis been up to since then? Spoiler alert: He’s still as charming and delightful as ever, though his schedule isn’t as packed with TV gigs as it was back in the day.
Daniel Davis: Life After 'The Nanny'
Fast forward to today, and the 71-year-old actor is still making waves in the entertainment industry. While he hasn’t landed roles as iconic as Niles, he’s kept himself busy with a variety of projects. In the early 2000s, he took on a recurring role in "The Practice," adding depth to the series with his signature charm. Not stopping there, he also made memorable guest appearances on shows like "Ugly Betty," "Frasier," "Gotham," and most recently, "The Blacklist."

But wait, there’s more! The Arkansas-born actor, who nails that British accent like a pro, has also been a regular on the Broadway stage. His theatrical journey includes playing Oscar Wilde in "The Invention of Love" in 2001, Georges in "La Cage aux Folles" in 2004, and George Bernard Shaw in "The Frogs," also in 2004. In 2000, he was even nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Featured Role for his role as Maurice Montesor in "Wrong Mountain." Impressive, right? Niles would definitely give a hearty "bravo!"

Back in 2016, Daniel opened up about something that puzzled him about "The Nanny." In an interview with News.com.au, he confessed that he could never wrap his head around how Niles and C.C. Babcock, played by Lauren Lane, ended up together. Let’s be honest, who could? They were the ultimate odd couple throughout the series, often at odds with each other. "That’s the only part that I never really bought, to tell you the truth," he revealed. "C.C. and I had been so oil and water — I didn’t buy that we would end up married. But I had to play it, because that’s what they wrote." He speculated that perhaps a spin-off was in the works, but when that didn’t happen, he was left scratching his head. "I guess they were just wanting to tie up the loose ends," he added.
