American actor Travis Van Winkle—best known for his appearance in 2007’s “Transformers” and, more recently, in the third season Netflix’ hit series “You”—is a dedicated performer whose passion for his craft visibly bleeds into the roles he plays, both on the silver screen and TV. Initially dreaming of being an NFL wide receiver in his youth, Van Winkle had always enjoyed being the center of attention, often cracking jokes to get people to laugh. The journey that brought him to where he is today is, unsurprisingly, full of interesting stories and insight into the world of acting.
