Description: Sammy Davis, Jr. rose from childhood stardom on the vaudeville stage to become one of the most famous African American entertainers of the 1950s and ’60s (and the only Black member of Frank Sinatra’s Rat Pack). At the same time, he spent most of his career surrounded by controversy and ridicule–over his affairs with white film stars, his 1960 marriage to Swedish actress May Britt, his conversion to Judaism, his closeness to the Kennedys (and later Richard Nixon), and his problems with alcohol and drugs.

** Please note the Up-To-Date Actor (UTDA) is not a submission/audition service, meaning no one has listed a specific audition or request for someone to submit. UTDA is an information resource only.
UTDA provides you with information on what projects are currently casting and who is casting. If you are specifically right for a project (based on your demographics and skills) you can use the information on our site to create what we call a “specific general submission.” When available, we provide the submission policy and preference on the casting director’s page but keep in mind since the pandemic all communication should be digital.
