Travanti Quinn Waller

Travanti Quinn Waller was born in Cincinnati Ohio, and his parents crossed the Brent Spence Bridge into Northern Kentucky where he'd continue his development. He began as a very quiet and incredibly observant boy who always valued listening over speaking. Its probably the best way to learn but most get that backwards & discernment comes last. The aforementioned probably allowed him to develop his intuition & an intense empathy that comes to the forefront of his natural & cerebral performance-style. He is all about performance no matter the domain or arena and he understands that all of his skills, Wing Chun Kung Fu included, are transferable-- there isn't a skill that he has ever gained that he doesn't utilize in some way. Although the sports & the martial arts seem like serious endeavors, he comes from a family of hilarious individuals so comedy was a constant & major influence in the way that he cultivated his sense of humor & comedic aesthetic. That also explains the amount of comedy in his filmography-- soon to be populated with even more. He co-starred in a comedy featured in the return of HBO's Project Greenlight of which the cult-hit comedy Beanie Bros was a favorite of Peter Farelly's and it finished in the Top 5 out of thousands of submissions. He's co-starred in a comedy featured on TBS Digital. He's even starred in a Sundance Lab Film that won the Juror's Award on the Mental Health Channel & was featured at Diversity at Cannes Film Festival. Travanti is also a podcaster who is cultivating quite the following across multiple platforms and has had the likes of the legendary Ernest Lee Thomas (of What's Happenin' and Everybody Hates Chris) as well as the legendary comic's comic & actor George Wallace on his show-- and as friends, they will recur. There is something about the way that Travanti sees the world & the way that he moves that people seem to want to be a part of. Don't you? And for the people who remember Hill Street Blues, the answer is, yes, he was named after Daniel J. Travanti. That is as serendipitous as things get. Facts can be fun, can't they?
