Hope Davis was named 2003 Best Actress of the Year by the New York Film Critics Circle for her work in two of the year's most critically acclaimed independent features, "American Splendor" and "The Secret Lives of Dentists."

Hope Davis won a Golden Globe Award nomination for her portrayal of Joyce Brabner, the fiercely intelligent, sardonic wife and collaborator to Paul Giamatti's Harvey Pekar in "American Splendor" (LA Film Critics' Best Picture of 2003). A fixture on 2003 Top 10 lists, "American Splendor" captured the Grand Jury Prize—Dramatic Competition at Sundance; Best Film Un Certain Regard in Cannes; and the Grand Jury Prize in Montreal's Just for Laughs Festival.

Hope Davis also received an IFP Spirit Award nomination for her performance opposite Campbell Scott in "The Secret Lives of Dentists," Alan Rudolph's intimate look at a contemporary marriage compromised by children and infidelity, based on Jane Smiley's The Age of Grief.

Hope Davis first garnered critical attention for her work in a trio of independent hits—Greg Mottola's "The Daytrippers," Bart Freundlich's "The Myth of Fingerprints" and Brad Anderson's "Next Stop Wonderland." Her filmography includes the black comedy "The Matador," with Greg Kinnear and Pierce Brosnan; "The Weatherman," opposite Nicolas Cage; John Madden's adaptation of David Auburn's Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning play, "Proof," opposite Gwyneth Paltrow, Anthony Hopkins and Jake Gyllenhaal; "Duma," with Campbell Scott; a delicious turn as Jack Nicholson's daughter in "About Schmidt" (Los Angeles Film Critics' Best Picture of 2002); "Hearts in Atlantis," opposite Anthony Hopkins; Campbell Scott's "Final," with Denis Leary; Stanley Tucci's "Joe Gould's Secret" and "The Imposters;" the political thriller "Arlington Road," with Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins; and Lawrence Kasdan's "Mumford." Upcoming films are "The Hoax," directed by Lasse Hallström, and Douglas McGrath's "Infamous."

Hope Davis recently performed alongside Meryl Streep and Peter Dinklage in "Hope Leaves the Theatre," part of the radio plays "Theatre of the New Ear" which Charlie Kaufman wrote for Sirius Radio. In addition to "Camino Real" at the famed Williamstown Theatre Festival,  Hope Davis' other stage credits include Lincoln Center productions of "Spinning Into Butter," "Ivanov," opposite Kevin Kline, and "Two Shakespearean Actors." Off-Broadway  Hope Davis has appeared in "Pterodactyls," "The Food Chain," "The Iceman Cometh" and David Mamet's "Speed the Plow," directed by Joel Schumacher.
