Early life
Davenport, the son of actors Nigel Davenport and Maria Aitken, was born in Wimbledon, London, and spent the first seven years of his life in Ibiza, Spain. Jonathan Aitken, a writer and former Conservative MP, was born in Edinburgh, whose maternal grandfather, William Aitken, was a lawyer, and one of his maternal great-grandfathers was John Maffey, 1st Baron Rugby. Davenport is also connected to Jared Harris and Richard Harris, who were both married to Elizabeth Rees-Williams, and Richard Harris, who were both related to Jared Harris and Jamie Harris, her sons from her marriage to Richard Harris. When he was seven, his parents divorced; at that point, he was admitted to the independent Dragon School in Oxford because his parents did not want him to be involved in the divorce proceedings. He then went on to attend Cheltenham College, a boarding independent school for boys (now co-educational), in Gloucestershire's spa town of Cheltenham, followed by the British American Drama Academy in London.

Career
Davenport had no intention to be an actor, but after attending Cheltenham College, his career began when he took a gap year. Davenport was hired by a director from Theatr Clwyd and asked him to work for him. He was 18 years old when he was in Wales, appearing bit parts in Hamlet, where he became acquainted with Rhys Ifans.
He continued his studies and English Literature at the University of East Anglia (UEA). He attempted acting again at the UEA but was not involved in it at the time, but not particularly interested. Rather than appearing on camera, Davenport considered joining a film crew rather than appearing on film. Since graduating from UEA, Davenport's mother advised him to John Cleese, asking for work on the set of his forthcoming film, Fierce Creatures, so that Davenport would have some experience behind the camera. Davenport's letter was subsequently sent to the casting department, and he was then cast as a trainee zookeeper in Cleese. Although this was only a small part with few lines, it was his first attempt to work in front of a camera. Davenport discovered an agent who got him an audition for the role of Miles Stewart in BBC television drama series This Life after he was finished with Fierce Creatures.
Davenport has appeared in many successful films and television series, including The Talented Mr. Ripley, Coupling and Ultraviolet, as well as the box office smash Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and its sequels, Dead Man's Chest and At World's End, since 1996.
Davenport has performed voice-overs, has narrated John Buchan's The Thirty-Nine Steps, and appeared in Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange, among other things during his career. He also speaks out against the British MasterCard ads (the American being done by Billy Crudup).
He appeared in the ITV1 drama The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant in 2006 and then appeared in the film The Boat That Rocked in 2009.
Davenport appeared in Swingtown, a period and relationship drama for CBS about the effects of sexual and socioeconomic independence in 1970s American suburban households, with story arcs involving open marriages and key parties. After one season, this was cancelled.
Davenport appeared in the ABC pilot FlashForward, which was based on a Robert J. Sawyer book, in 2008. Davenport portrayed Lloyd Simcoe, a physicist who is suspected of a worldwide blackout, whose causes the entire world to see the future. After a single season, the series was cancelled.
Davenport appeared in the NBC musical drama pilot Smash in February 2011. It lasted for two seasons and is now a cult favorite on streaming services. The first season of the series follows a group of people working together to put on a Marilyn Monroe tribute on Broadway. Davenport plays the musical's director. As the various cast members branch out into other productions, Davenport's character, Derek Wills, abandons the Broadway production of Bombshell to pursue a small off-Broadway musical and take it to Broadway with his protégé, Karen Cartwright. With the two shows competing at the Tony Awards, the season comes to an end.
Davenport appeared in the video for Snow Patrol's single "Called Out in the Dark" on YouTube on August 17, 2011, alongside Tara Summers and Gary Lightbody.
In a revival of George Bernard Shaw's Saint Joan starring Condola Rashad, Davenport made her Broadway debut in 2018.
