Let’s rewind to the '90s for a second. If you were glued to the screen every week watching The Nanny, you know exactly who Niles is—and let’s be honest, who didn’t love him? Played by the supremely talented Daniel Davis, Niles was the snarky, British-accented butler with a soft spot for Fran Fine. But what’s been happening in his life since the series wrapped in 1999? Spoiler alert: He’s still as charming and sharp-witted as ever.

Life After 'The Nanny': Staying Busy and Brilliant

Now, if you’re wondering whether Daniel Davis has kept the same level of fame post-The Nanny, well, the answer is no—but that doesn’t mean he’s been slacking off. At 71 years old, the Arkansas-born actor has been keeping his plate full with an impressive mix of TV and theater roles. Sure, he might not have landed another iconic part like Niles, but he’s been building a resume that would make even Niles proud.

Take a look at his TV credits since the show ended. He had a recurring role on The Practice in 2000, bringing his signature wit to the screen. Then there were guest appearances on shows like Ugly Betty, Frasier, Gotham, and more recently, The Blacklist. But it’s not just TV that’s kept him busy—Davis has also made a name for himself on Broadway and off-Broadway stages. In fact, he’s been a regular face in the theater world, taking on challenging roles like Oscar Wilde in The Invention of Love and Georges in La Cage aux Folles. Oh, and did I mention he got a Tony nomination for his role in Wrong Mountain? Niles would definitely approve of all this success.

But Wait—Did Niles and C.C. Babcock Actually Make Sense?

Now, let’s talk about one of the most head-scratching moments in TV history: the pairing of Niles and C.C. Babcock. If you were as baffled as I was when these two ended up together, you’re not alone. In 2016, Daniel Davis opened up about his own confusion regarding this plot twist. During an interview with News.com.au, he admitted, “That’s the only part that I never really bought, to tell you the truth.”

Think about it: Niles and C.C. were the definition of “oil and water” throughout the entire series. They were arch-rivals, constantly bickering and throwing shade at each other. So, how exactly did they wind up married? Davis revealed that part of him thought the pairing might lead to a spin-off, but when that never happened, he was left scratching his head. “I guess they were just wanting to tie up the loose ends,” he concluded.

Where Is Daniel Davis Today? And Could Niles Make a Comeback?

In recent years, Daniel Davis has continued to charm audiences with his wit and talent. Last year, he sat down for a fun “4 Minutes of Joy” interview with Nerdzilla, where he shared everything from the dumbest purchase he’s ever made to his favorite comeback line from Niles. Honestly, we could all use more of this kind of entertainment in our lives.

So, here’s the million-dollar question: Could The Nanny make a comeback? With shows like Will and Grace and Full House successfully reviving their magic, why not The Nanny? Or, at the very least, how about a Niles and C.C. spin-off? I mean, come on, wouldn’t that be the ultimate throwback?
