Early Life and Family Background Peter Michael Davidson was born on November 16, 1993, in Staten Island, New York City. His mother, Amy Waters, is a school nurse, and his father, Scott Davidson, was a New York City firefighter who tragically lost his life during the September 11 attacks in 2001. Pete was just seven years old at the time, and the loss of his father had a profound impact on his life and mental health. Pete grew up in a Catholic family and has a younger sister named Casey. He attended St. Joseph by-the-Sea High School, a Catholic school in Staten Island, but later transferred to Tottenville High School, from which he graduated in 2011. As a child, Pete was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, a chronic inflammatory bowel condition that he has managed throughout his life. Early Career and Breakthrough Davidson's interest in comedy began at a young age. As a teenager, he frequently visited local comedy clubs, where he honed his skills and performed stand-up routines. His early influences included Bill Burr, Adam Sandler, and Eddie Murphy. At the age of 16, he had his first stand-up performance at a Staten Island bowling alley, which was a success and encouraged him to pursue comedy as a career. After graduating from high school, Davidson briefly attended St. Francis College in Brooklyn Heights but dropped out after one semester to focus on his comedy career. He soon began appearing on MTV comedy series such as "Guy Code" and "Wild 'n Out." In 2013, he made his televised stand-up debut on Comedy Central's "Gotham Comedy Live." Davidson's big break came in 2014 when he joined the cast of "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) as a featured player at the age of 20, making him one of the youngest cast members in the show's history. His casting was a surprise to many, as he had no prior experience with sketch comedy. However, his unique comedic style and relatable persona quickly made him a fan favorite. Success on Saturday Night Live During his time on SNL, Davidson became known for his self-deprecating humor, often drawing from his personal life experiences, including his struggles with mental health and his relationship with his mother. Some of his most popular recurring characters include Chad, a laid-back and oblivious young man, and Pat Fitzwilliam, an apathetic and sarcastic actor. Davidson's success on SNL led to a number of high-profile appearances and collaborations. In 2016, he performed a stand-up set on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and appeared in a series of skits on "The Jim Gaffigan Show." He also co-starred in the Comedy Central series "Idiotsitter" and had a supporting role in the Judd Apatow-directed film "Trainwreck" (2015).
Mental Health Advocacy Throughout his career, Davidson has been open about his struggles with mental health, particularly his diagnoses of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and depression. He has used his platform to raise awareness about mental health issues and to encourage others to seek help when needed. In 2017, Davidson revealed on SNL's "Weekend Update" segment that he had been diagnosed with BPD and had been undergoing treatment. He later shared more details about his mental health journey in interviews and stand-up routines, noting that he had experienced suicidal thoughts and had been in and out of inpatient treatment facilities. Davidson's candor about his mental health has earned him praise from fans and mental health advocates alike. He has become a vocal supporter of organizations such as the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and has used his comedy to destigmatize mental illness and encourage open conversations about mental health. Film and Television Roles In addition to his work on SNL, Davidson has appeared in a number of films and television shows. Some of his notable roles include:

Throughout his career, Davidson has been open about his struggles with substance abuse, particularly his use of marijuana as a coping mechanism for his mental health issues. In 2017, he announced that he had quit drugs and was sober for the first time in eight years. However, he later clarified that he still used marijuana for medicinal purposes but had significantly reduced his consumption.
Controversy and Public Persona Davidson's comedic style and public persona have sometimes led to controversy and criticism. His jokes about sensitive topics such as the Catholic Church, the 9/11 attacks, and the Manchester Arena bombing have been met with backlash from some audiences and media outlets.
In 2018, Davidson faced criticism for a joke he made on SNL about congressional candidate Dan Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL who lost an eye while serving in Afghanistan. Davidson apologized for the joke, and Crenshaw later appeared on SNL alongside him in a show of forgiveness and unity.
Despite these controversies, Davidson has maintained a loyal fanbase and continues to be praised for his comedic talents and his willingness to tackle difficult subjects in his work.
Philanthropy and Advocacy In addition to his mental health advocacy, Davidson has been involved in various charitable causes throughout his career. He has supported organizations such as the Stomp Out Bullying campaign, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Give Kids the World Village, a nonprofit resort for children with critical illnesses.
Davidson has also used his platform to raise awareness about issues such as gun violence and police brutality. In 2020, he participated in a table read of the film "It's a Wonderful Life" to benefit the Ed Asner Family Center, which provides support services for individuals with special needs and their families.
