Biography |
Travis Fimmel is an Australian fashion model and actor.
Fimmel grew up on a farm outside of Echuca, Australia. He
came to the United States and had a successful audition with
Calvin Klein executives. Fimmel's relatively slender
physique broke out of the mold set by Calvin Klein's
previous hard-body poster-boys like Mark Wahlberg, Antonio
Sabato Jr., and Michael Bergin.
In 2003, Fimmel was chosen to star in an American television
series based on the character of Tarzan for The WB network,
but the show only lasted a few episodes. He was later chosen
to star in another series, Rocky Point, which has not yet
been broadcast.
In 2005, Fimmel was chosen for a starring role as a
drug-addicted murderer in the psychological thriller Guests,
which began filming in Sydney, Australia, at the end of
August 2005. In his new role, he and his girlfriend invade
an agoraphobic man's home and take him hostage.
An avid barefooter, Fimmel claims to go barefoot almost
exclusively. He made an infamous barefoot appearance on the
The Sharon Osbourne Show and is often seen and photographed
wearing just flip flops. |
