Travis Andre Ross

My Biography

​

Travis Andre Ross grew up in a trailer park in California's Central Valley, raised by a single mother who worked long hours to support Travis and his younger brother. With little supervision but a lot of imagination, Travis turned to television and film — not just for entertainment, but as an early education in storytelling. Known as "Class Crazy" by his graduating class, he brought that same outsized energy into everything he did, including He got his first taste of on-camera work during junior college.

"I want to be a role model. I want to inspire and influence today's youth the way that I was inspired."

After earning a business degree, Travis founded Superstar Produce, a bulk produce company specializing in sweet potatoes — a venture that gave him the financial independence to pursue acting on his own terms. Along the way he's also worked as a realtor, a personal trainer, and a CrossFit coach, among other pursuits — a range that reflects someone who believes in trying things rather than waiting for the perfect lane. He also built a YouTube presence from the ground up, eventually earning Partner status after several videos found viral traction, which pushed him to keep producing his own content.

As a writer, director, and actor, Travis's most notable work to date is Central Valley, a dramatic feature that won Best Picture and Audience Choice awards on the festival circuit, along with a Best Actor recognition, and is now streaming on Amazon Prime. He has worked opposite A-list talent including Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, and Jeremy Renner, as well as smaller production companies throughout the Central Valley — experience that's given him an appreciation for every level of the craft.

Off camera, Travis volunteers with the Boys & Girls Club of America and Young Storytellers, and has traveled to Mexico to support orphanages — work rooted in the same belief that drives his on-screen ambitions: that a positive outlook can genuinely move people forward.

Travis is currently based in Los Angeles, and his pursuit continues.
