Travis Quentin Young was born and raised on the bayou in Westlake, Louisiana. At 10 years old he made his television debut on Ed McMahon's Star Search (1983) singing country music. From there he went on to tour a one-man show while honing his acting chops on stage in theaters around Louisiana. After formally studying music and theater (Berklee College of Music/McNeese State University) Travis made the move to Los Angeles. He was soon cast in the short film The Replacement Child (2007) and was awarded, Outstanding Performance by an Actor, in the Winnipeg International Film Festival, and Best Actor in the Barbados International Film Festival. His voice talent got him into one of the toughest loop groups in town and he has recorded over 25 features including There Will Be Blood (2007), No Country for Old Men (2007), and Happy Feet (2006). Travis continued his on-camera work in a number of television series and films, such as The Automatic Hate (2015), ABC Family's Teen Spirit (2011), Devious Maids (2013) on Lifetime, and HBO's Vinyl (2016).
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
