Finally, she earned recognition and graduated from Spelman College in 2009.

Cassi Davis’ acting career dates back to 1988 when she appeared in the Spike Lee film “School Daze”. While her early television credits were identified as appearances on “The PJ”, “Kenan & Kel”, “Living Single” and others, it is believed that the tender stage of her career was her stage work with Kim Fields-Morgan.

In 2004, Cassi won the NAACP Los Angeles Chapter’s Best Supporting Actress award. In 2010 and 2013 she won the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series – House of Payne (2006).

Cassi Davis Education

In 1988, actress Kym E. Davis was cast in the role of Paula for Spike Lee’s musical comedy-drama film School Daze. Drawing from his own experiences as a student at Morehouse College in the Atlanta University Center during the 1970s, Lee crafted a story that delved into many issues affecting African American communities such as classism, hair texture bias, social mobility, colorism, and political activism to name just a few. This movie served to highlight these important topics through an entertaining medium and has since become an iconic classic of its genre.

After leaving Spelman College one credit short of her degree due to not being allowed to perform religious music during her senior recital, Davis made it back and earned her major in Music from the college in 2008. Despite the initial setback, she was able to overcome this obstacle and complete her studies at Spelman College located in Atlanta, Georgia.

Married/ Husband/ Children

The questions Cassi Davis’ fans are most likely to ask to relate to their private lives. “Who is Cassi Davis’ husband”, “Is Cassi Davis married” and “Who are Cassi Davis’ children” are frequent questions to the American actress.

It has been speculated several times that Cassi Davis is married to Lavan Davis – an American actor who is also known for his role as Curtis Payne in “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne”.

Like Cassi, Lavan played many roles in Perry’s productions. Cassi and Lavan were portrayed as partners in some productions. While Cassie (Ella Payne) was married to Lavan (Curtis Payne) in the “House of Payne”, they acted as a couple in the play “Madea Goes to Jail” and were also together in the movie “Daddy’s Little Girls”.

Cassi Davis and LaVan Davis

Probably that’s why it’s often assumed that Cassi Davis is married to Lavan Davis in real life. As far as I know, she’s not married to Lavan or anyone else. She is still single.

LaVan and Cassi were invited to a TV show sometime in 2011 – “You and me this morning”. It was hoped that the show would give many answers to Cassi’s private life and explicitly show her marital status.

That did it pretty well. But many were even more confused in the end. In the TV show, Cassi and Lavan were asked to comment on the belief that they were married. In response, they denied it and admitted that they were married.

While Cassi denies that she is married to Lavan, Lavan remarks that he is married to Cassi. Below you can watch the conversation between Cassi and Lavan on the TV show.

Despite her visible gait the actress has yet to disclose what is causing her limp.
