The cult show that reveals the dark and dirty reality of urban institutions, has amidst its characters an iconic politician who is a shining example of corruption. Played by Isiah Whitlock Jr., Davis is a stand-in for the decay of Government. While most other characters in the show are morally grey, Davis is purely selfish and a sadist. As the State Senator, he protects criminals and rigs elections.
