I saw Travis as Frankie on May 23rd. He was awesome! Irene, you will definitely not be disappointed. You can see how happy and excited he was to be playing the role. Jen Naimo told before he came out of the stage door that I HAVE to talk to him; that he is such a nice guy. I talked to him for a few minutes. He was so nice and his family was there too. There were very kind also. It was his 4th time as Frankie. I look foward to your review!

What a personal and heartwarming interview, Travis. Irene and I met you together at the Actors’ Fund benefit, and you were indeed very gracious. I thanked you on your MySpace page later that evening, and you responded to me right away, which is always a pleasant surprise for a fan.

As far as the already established cast welcoming you into the family, that must have felt great. Whatever our profession, we’ve all experienced being the newcomer at one time or another where everyone stares but no one approaches with help. I recall Christian welcoming you personally on his website.

Finally, your father’s show of love by posting publicly how proud he was to be your Dad and how he knows you’ll “walk like a man” was one of the most touching entries I’ve ever read on this Blog. It’s great that your support network is one of both family and friends.

And by the way, I can’t wait to see you as Frankie and get our terrific picture together personalized, I wish you continued success, Travis.

I saw Travis’ second performance as Frankie. You will not be disappointed. Mr. McAnuff knows talent when he sees it [and hears it].

I had the pleasure of meeting Travis at The Actors” Fund special performance in April. Consistent with the entire JB cast, Travis was warm, very friendly and appreciative of the opportunity he has in JB.
I haven’t seen him in the role of Frankie yet but hope to soon. As with the other performers, when I saw him at the stage door a couple of weeks ago, he remembered me from The Actors’ Fund evening. He told me that he would be playing the part of Frankie during some of the next week’s performance and the excitement just exuded through his conversation.

Reading the interviews and following the stories of the performers, several commonalities are evident:
â€¢They are have worked very hard to get to where they are now.
â€¢They have struggled and persisted through the obstacles until they
were successful. Each obstacle created an opportunity and each opportunity was seized.
â€¢They do not take their successes for granted and know that they will
have to work hard and endure other obstacles in their careers.
â€¢They are committed to succeed and thus will.
â€¢They have tremendous appreciation for the people who buy the tickets to see them perform. They demonstrate this appreciation in
wonderful ways including recognizing fans, thanking them,taking the time for them at the stage door and giving 100% to each performance.

…And the fans keep coming back! Great interview, Travis! Best of luck. For sure, I will see you soon! IE
