'Outer Banks' Cast: Meet Jonathan Daviss (aka Pope) & Learn More About Him!

We’re so excited for the launch of Outer Banks later this week and we’re counting down to the premiere with posts about the cast!

Jonathan Daviss is a newcomer who is breaking onto the scene with his role as Pope. The show takes place on an island of haves and have-nots and follows a teen who enlists his three best friends to hunt for a legendary treasure linked to his father’s disappearance.

Here are 10 Fun Facts about Jonathan:

  • 4. I moved to Los Angeles by myself, and slept on somebody’s couch at 17 to further my acting career.
