Peter "Pete" Davidson (born November 16, 1993) is an American actor and comedian. He is a cast member on Saturday Night Live, the youngest member of the current cast, and the first cast member to have been born in the 1990s. Davidson has also appeared on the MTV shows Guy Code, Wild 'n Out, and Failosophy. He has performed stand-up comedy on Adam Devine's House Party, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and Comedy Underground with Dave Attell, and guest-starred in Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Davidson was born November 16, 1993 in Staten Island, New York, the son of Amy (née Waters) and Scott Davidson. He has Jewish, German, Irish, Scottish, English and Italian ancestry. His father was a New York City firefighter who died in service during the September 11 attacks. He was last seen running up the stairs of the Marriott World Trade Center, just prior to its collapse. Davidson, who was seven years old at the time, was profoundly affected by the loss. He told The New York Times that it was "overwhelming" and that he would often act out in school as a result of the trauma, at one point ripping his hair out until he was bald. He has a younger sister, Casey, a sophomore at Marist College, where she plays basketball.
