Travis Willingham – Biography

Travis is one of the biggest names in the voice acting industry with a career that has recorded over 300 film and television credits. It is an accomplished career and life that began on the 3rd of August 1981 in one of America’s most populous cities, Dallas. Despite his accomplished and famous life as a voice actor, Travis has done a good job of keeping details of his personal life away from the public eye. We, however, know that his mother is Patricia Mueller and he has a younger brother named Carson Willingham.
