Tim Davis (born Duane Timston Davis;[4] March 9, 1924 – October 30, 1982[5]) was an American child actor, perhaps best known for his voice work in the 1942 Disney animated feature film, Bambi, and his performance in the 1940 film of Thornton Wilder's Our Town, in which he plays the older of the two newsboy siblings—the other portrayed by his real-life younger brother, the then popular radio actor Dix Davis.
