Travis Willingham

Travis Willingham (born August 3, 1981 in Dallas, Texas) is an American voice actor. He has been part of the dubbing industry since 2000. He and Laura Bailey are married; they gave birth to a son named Ronin on June 28, 2018.

Willingham went through a difficult period in childhood, having struggled with ADHD and losing his father when he became a teenager. Despite these setbacks, he graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School and went on to attend Texas Christian University.

During Willingham's career, he initially provided voice-overs for anime published by Funimation, but shifted more towards video game and cartoon roles. He has even done live-action roles and motion capture for some of his more recent works. Willingham is also a cast member of the web series Critical Role, eventually becoming the chief executive officer of its newly-formed production company when the show left the Geek & Sundry network. In the 2017 BTVA Voice Acting Awards, he earned the distinction of being named Voice Actor of the Year.

In his personal life, Willingham is a fan of the Dallas Cowboys. He likes participating in triathlons and is fond of dogs. He once got into a tequila drinking contest with fellow voice actor Monica Rial and soundly lost against her.

Willingham often performs characters who either belong to military organizations or exhibit bombastic personalities. He may occasionally play against type by voicing more stoic or sinister characters in certain titles. He has lent his performances to Knuckles the Echidna in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, Lon'qu in Fire Emblem Awakening, and The Mountaineer in Death Stranding.
