Early life

Travis was born on November 4, 1982, in Victorville, California, the middle of three children of Sally (née Fitzgerald) and Charles Van Winkle.[2] He remained in Victorville until he was two years old, and then moved to Oscoda, Michigan. When he was eight, his family moved again to Peachtree City, Georgia, where he finished at McIntosh High School and attended college until he was twenty. At twenty, he decided to pursue his dream of acting, and took the leap to go to Hollywood.

Career

Van Winkle made his debut in That's So Raven, and in TV has performed in The O.C., MAD TV, Malcolm in the Middle and 7th Heaven. Other film credits include one of the leads in Fox's Meet the Spartans, David R. Ellis's film "Asylum", Universal's Accepted and Michael Bay's Transformers. While he has modeled for Abercrombie & Fitch shot by Bruce Weber, Van Winkle appeared in the reboot of Friday the 13th (another Michael Bay production) as Trent DeMarco, a character he previously portrayed in Transformers. In an interview with FearNet, Van Winkle said that he was very hyped about the film, and enjoyed playing in it. Van Winkle also appeared in Julianne Hough's music video "That Song in My Head".[3]

In 2011-2012, he made guest appearances in television series such as 2 Broke Girls, Happy Endings and Two and a Half Men.
