Hi, Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is
Travis Kraft.
I live in the wacky world of Hollywood. How did
I end up here?
I was born in Iowa and raised in Bismarck,
North Dakota so I am a true mid-west boy.
There is not a lot of things to do in North
Dakota so I ended up watching movies all the time.I loved action
movies and was inspired by them. In the 7th grade I decided that I
was going to go to Hollywood someday and be an actor. When I made
this decision, I cut off all other possibilities of what I would do
with my life. I figured I would have to wait til I finished school
and then move on to bigger and better things in
Hollywood.
While living in North Dakota waiting to get through school
so I could move to Hollywood, I took an interest in athletics. At
age 9 I discovered the sport of wrestling and decided to make it my
focus. I didn't do too bad at the sport. I won 3 state championships
while in high school and was even ranked #1 in the nation one year.
I was invited to train at the Olympic Training Center which was a
great experience and a real honor. I went on to win the AAU
nationals.
Senior year in high school I was entertaining
scholarship offers from all over the country. I decided to attend
Eastern Michigan University. I just felt it would be a good school
for me. While at school I studied film as well as psychology. EMU
is also where I first began studying acting. I was working hard on
the mat and in the classroom, and I even earned NCAA Academic
All-American honors.
After graduating from EMU armed with a
B.S. in Telecommunications and Film, it was time to head for Los
Angeles. The move was pretty rough and scary but exciting at the
same time.
After arriving in L.A., I began studying acting as well as
stunt fighting. It was rough being the new meat in town, but I
started going to auditions and booking some gigs and things started
to progress.
Now because of a decision I made when I was 13,
I am living in the world of big money, big studios, and big
personas. Crazy, huh?
Thanks for taking the time to read
these ramblings. I hope you enjoy looking at my
site.
