Born in Buenos Aires, Dávila made his film debut in 1952. At the height of the Golden Age of Argentine cinema, he played a romantic lead opposite the likes of Silvia Legrand, Mirtha Legrand, Irma Roy, Lolita Torres, Silvia Montanari, and Lilián del Río.
In the 1960s, Dávila moved to Spain.

In the 1980s, he returned to Argentina, appearing in many telenovelas. His career slowed in the following decade following a hip injury he sustained.
