Ed Danvers is a fictional character played by Željko Ivanek in the television series Homicide: Life on the Street.

[1] A recurring character, Danvers is usually shown only in his professional capacity as an Assistant State's Attorney (criminal prosecutor), although the series did delve into his personal life somewhat when he engaged in a brief romance with Kay Howard.

It is revealed in "Sideshow", a Season 7 crossover with Law & Order, that, as a teenager, Danvers was a member of an all-white street gang.

In 1972 Danvers participated in the racially motivated beating of an innocent African American man, but was the only one of the six gang members to show remorse for the crime.

Two such instances are when he falsely assumed that his fiancée's murder was targeted rather than random (despite all evidence to the contrary) and again later when he is too quick to believe a woman's unlikely self-defense explanation for murder simply because she too is a state prosecutor; in the latter case, he even goes so far as to conspire with the defense team to minimize the defendant's sentence, although he later reverses his position when he finally realizes she had been lying.
