Jim Davidson (born Cameron James Davidson) is an actor and comedian. Despite his long-term success, Davidson's present image is that of an unsophisticated and politically incorrect stand-up who appeals to the lowest common denominator in his audience.

Davidson is also regarded by some as a bigot. For example, in October 2003 he was criticised by disability rights groups for cancelling a show after objecting to the presence of wheelchair users among his audience.

Davidson recently emigrated to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, but threatened to return to the UK if the Conservatives won the 2005 election, which was eventually won by Tony Blair's Labour Party.

In between filming 'Up The Elephant and Round The Castle' Davidson use to ride an Indian elephant around South East London in order to promote the sitcom. As he rode the elephant he used to bellow to the public via a loud hailer using a West Indian accent, the only accent he 'could' imitate.
