'Outer Banks' Cast: Meet Jonathan Daviss (aka Pope) & Learn More About Him!

We’re so excited for the launch of Outer Banks later this week and we’re counting down to the premiere with posts about the cast!

Jonathan Daviss is a newcomer who is breaking onto the scene with his role as Pope. The show takes place on an island of haves and have-nots and follows a teen who enlists his three best friends to hunt for a legendary treasure linked to his father’s disappearance.

Here are 10 Fun Facts about Jonathan:

  • 1. I can quote the entirety of “The Road to El Dorado” from memory.
  • 2. I eat up to 6 airheads at a time without making a face.
  • 3. When I played varsity football I led my district in special teams tackles.
  • 4. I moved to Los Angeles by myself, and slept on somebody’s couch at 17 to further my acting career.
  • 5. I’m really into anime and comic books. In fact I dragged my family to a Naruto-themed ramen spot in Florida called “Naroodle.”

  • 6. I have a lightning bolt shaped scar on my toe from when an iron was dropped on it as a baby.
  • 7. Right before I booked Outer Banks, I worked at Saks Off 5th as a sales associate while charging scooters for BIRD.

  • 9. I had never driven a boat prior to Outer Banks.
  • 10. I made bracelets for the entire cast and crew of OBX as a wrap gift and spelled Pogues wrong on them. I spelled it “Pouges.”
