About Doug Davidson
Doug Davidson created the role of Paul Williams in 1978 on
the Emmy Award winning show THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS. With
over 3,000 shows to his credit on the number one rated
daytime drama, Davidson personally has ranked in the top ten
of the TVQ ratings for a decade. Davidson has even acquired
the TVQ rating #1 which has marked him as the top daytime
performer (including both men and women) based on talent,
familiarity and likability. A higher position in daytime
television can not be earned. Davidson has also been honored
on the SOAP OPERA AWARDS telecasts being the recipient of
four nominations and winning all awards he has been
nominated for, the latest being voted BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
in Jan 1997.
Davidson is also known to audiences when he hosted the
nighttime version of THE PRICE IS RIGHT for Paramount
Pictures 94 Season. For the past two years Davidson has been
the host for the TOURNAMENT OF ROSES PARADE LIVE for CBS. He
has been the host of CBS's COMING UP ROSES NEW YEAR'S
SPECIAL (for six consecutive years running) and also
Ceremonies for the state wide telecast THE MISS CALIFORNIA
PAGEANT and recently co-hosted LIVE with Stephanie Edwards,
as well as the JENNY JONES SHOW in the past. Davison's
hosting abilities enabled cable TV's THE KENNY ROGER'S
CEREBRAL PALSY TELETHON to surpass all financial goals,
making it three record breaking years when Doug Davidson was
hosting.
Although Davidson's daytime schedule is demanding, he was
able to star with Paul Reiser in the feature film MR. WRITE
and co-star in Judith Krantz's mini-series I'LL TAKE
MANHATTAN, Davidson slipped away to guest on an episode of
DIAGNOSIS MURDER with Dick Van Dyke and taped a special
piece for the OLYMPICS on CBS. He has appeared on Fox's MOW
L.A. JOHNS.
Doug Davidson's popularity and success has earned him over
700 national magazine covers and newspapers and guest
appearances on CBS THIS MORNING, PHIL DONAHUE, KTLA MORNING
SHOW, MAURY POVICH, GERALDO, VICKI, ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT,
THE PAT SAJACK SHOW, MIKE AND MATY, DONNY AND MARIE, MARILU,
HOUR MAGAZINE, MERV GRIFFIN, amongst others. Davidson's
countless appearances all over the United States and Canada
has proven how strong viewership in daytime T.V. really is.
In Markville, Canada, thirty thousand people besieged a
shopping mall just to get a single glimpse of the blonde,
blue-eyed, six foot actor who appears weekly as detective
Paul Williams.
Supporting charitable causes, Davidson has been featured on
more FAMILY FEUDS than anyone (with the exception of the
show's host). Davidson has appeared on such show as THE
WHEEL OF FORTUNE , WIN LOSE OR DRAW, TIC TAC DOUGH, and CARD
SHARKS, raising money for charities having to do with
children, animals, and saving our earth. Davidson's
dedication to youth is evident through his strong
association with the YMCA. He has worked as Youth Director
on Catalina Island , Davidson and his wife actress Cindy
Fisher, have served as National Honorary Chairperson's for
WE-TIP, a non-profit anonymous tip line that aids in crime
stopping.
Once a marine biology major at Occidental College, Davidson
still enjoys SCUBA diving and the outdoors. He has camped
all over Europe, water-skied the Colorado River, and remains
a 1st degree brown belt in Karate. Davidson commutes to
Hollywood from his 5 1/2 acre secluded property in a beach
community outside of Los Angeles. At home, he loves to spend
time with his daughter Calyssa, and his son, Caden and their
old English Sheepdog Gertrude.
About Mark Goodman
Mark Goodman has been in the music biz for 30 years. He
started in radio in his hometown of Philadelphia at WMMR. In
1978 he became music director of the station. Then in 1980
he moved to NYC to work at WPLJ the number one rock station
in New York.
It was 1981 when Mark left WPLJ to join the as yet unknown
music video channel called MTV. As one of the 5 original VJs
Mark interviewed everyone from Paul McCartney to Sting to
Bruce Springsteen. He also hosted several special shows for
the channel including “The Week In Rock”, "120 Minutes” and
the first show ever syndicated to broadcast by MTV “The Top
20 Video Countdown.”
In the late 80’s Mark began an acting career that saw him
working in film, and TV. Goodman appeared in several films
including “Man Trouble” the worst film Jack Nicholson ever
made and “Don’t Be a Menace To Society When You’re Drinking
Your Juice In The Hood” with the Wayans brothers as well as
Police Academy 6 (yes there were 6!). On TV Mark could be
seen in such shows as “ Married With Children, The Practice,
Superman and others.
In 1989 Mark returned to radio in LA at the legendary but
short lived “The Edge”. Over the next 10 years he worked at
stations including KROQ, KMPC-AM and Star 98.7 in Los
Angeles as well as Q101 and WLS-FM in Chicago.
Through the 90’s Mark worked hosting several different TV
shows and music specials. One show ”Fit TV” is still running
on cable. Mark receives no royalties from the show but is
pleased he is still helping people learn how to eat right,
exercise more and be open to alternative methods of healing
and stress reduction. He is trying to utilize these things
in his own life with varying degrees of success.
In 1999 Mark became SVP of Music Programming for
Soundbreak.com. He developed the format, hired and trained
the air staff, and developed all the special programming
which became available for syndication to other sites
including British Telecom Open World, As Seen In (Aaron
Spelling’s site), and Newgrounds.
After the dot com crash Mark continued his search for the
new musical underground. Oddly it presented itself from
outer space in the form of satellite radio. Mark was offered
a position on Sirius Satellite Radio on their (what else)
Big 80’s channel. Since starting there in 2004 Mark has
added full time shows on Classic Rewind (late 70’s through
early 90’s rock) and The Spectrum (a lively mix of rock, pop
and indy for grownups…which Mark is still considering
becoming).
Concurrent with that Goodman’s understanding of the power of
combining music and visuals made Mark’s next step in the
music business almost a given. Music supervision...putting
music in films and TV shows. While he had music supervised
several pilots for Fox it was the Touchstone/ABC TV show
“Desperate Housewives” which offered Mark his greatest
challenge. Mark was tapped as music supervisor to help
launch the series.
Developments lately though have allowed Mark to agree with
his old pal Jon Bonjovi who asks “Who says you can’t go
home?” Lately he is back home (sort of) on VH1 and VH1
Classic doing interviews and hosting special programs while
continuing to broadcast 7 days a week on Sirius Satellite
Radio.
