Career

Davalos made her feature film debut starring in "The Chronicles of Riddick" as Kyra. In September 2003, Davalos was seen opposite Antonio Banderas in the HBO original film "And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself". Davalos played Teddy Sampson, a young actress starring in the film whose acting chops allowed her to portray someone else after cameras stopped rolling. Jim Broadbent and Eion Bailey also starred. "And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself" won "Best Picture Made for Television" in the Broadcast Film Critics Association's Critics' Choice Awards.

In 2002, Davalos starred in "The Ghost of F. Scott Fitzgerald", Charles Lyons’ directorial debut. This short film follows James Powell, a college senior, who falls for Bess Gunther, played by Davalos, a sophomore. However, the attractive Bess is deeply in love with F. Scott Fitzgerald, or "Scotty", as she likes to call him. The obsession leads Bess down a road James prefers not to follow. Years later, he wonders whether she’s the one that got away. Charlie Hofheimer also stars. The film was an official selection to the 2002 Toronto Film Festival.

That same year, Davalos starred in "Disturbing the Peace", the directorial debut of noted writer Mark Bomback for the 2002 Sundance Institute’s Director’s Lab. The project is writer/director Bomback’s adaptation of a Richard Yates novel. The story follows a suburbanite who thinks his life should be so extraordinary he makes rash decisions in the hopes of attaining it. Davalos stars as a young woman who has an affair with him to test the boundaries of her power over men.

Davalos also appeared as the mutant Gwen Raiden in three episodes of the TV show "Angel" and in 2005 co-starred in the Fox show "Reunion".

In 2008, Davalos will also co-star as the love interest of Daniel Craig in the war film, "Defiance", directed by Edward Zwick (who directed "Blood Diamond"). Filming started in October 2007, and the movie is slated to be released late 2008 in November or December.
