Travis Lane Fine (born June 26, 1968) is an American actor, writer, director and producer, perhaps best known for his film Any Day Now, and for his roles in Girl, Interrupted and The Young Riders.

Early life

Fine was born in Atlanta, Georgia, the second son of Maxine Parker Makover and Terry Fine, a professional golfer.^[1]^[2] He has one older brother, Todd, and one younger sister, Kelly. His parents divorced when he was six. He was raised in Hickory Flat and Atlanta, Georgia, but moved to Los Angeles, California, when he was fifteen, and has lived in that area since. In 1986, he graduated from Beverly Hills High School in Beverly Hills, California. He attended Pitzer College in Claremont, CA for 1 year and eventually earned his Aviation Science degree from Utah Valley University.

Career

Acting career

Fine's acting career started at the age of seven when he was cast as John Henry in a stage production of Member of the Wedding at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta. Over the next few years, he starred in theatre productions at the Alliance Theatre, the Children's Theatre Company in Minneapolis and at Beverly Hills High School, including stagings of: A Christmas Carol, Peter Pan, Oliver!, Macbeth, Legend of Sleepy Hollow, On Golden Pond, Tom Sawyer, Grease, and Amadeus (in which he played Mozart). His on-screen debut came at the age of twelve in A Time for Miracles starring Lorne Greene.^[3]

In 1989, Fine gained attention as the mute and bald Pony Express rider Ike McSwain, on ABC's Western series The Young Riders.^{[citation needed]} Fine left the show early in the third and last season, when his character was killed trying to protect the girl that he loved.

In 2002, Fine started a new career in commercial aviation by attending ATP flight school. In 2003, he was hired as a first officer flying Embraer regional jets for Chatauqua Airlines, although he said he "ha[s] not ruled out doing more acting" and he continues writing screenplays.^[4]

Filmmaking career

Fine sold his first screenplay, The Lords of the Sea (written in 1994), to Howard Koch Jr., after which he was hired to write episodes for Diagnosis: Murder and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. In 1996, he attended the New York Film Academy, where he wrote, directed and produced several short films. A year later, he wrote, produced and directed his first feature-length film, The Others, a high school comedy.^[5]

In the fall of 2009, Fine wrote and directed The Space Between, starring Melissa Leo. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, won the Grand Prize at the Heartland International Film Festival and then aired on USA Network as a commercial-free event movie on the 10th anniversary of 9/11.^{[citation needed]}

In 2012, Fine co-wrote, produced and directed Any Day Now, an LGBT film set in the 1970s, starring Alan Cumming, Garret Dillahunt, Isaac Leyva, and Frances Fisher. Travis produced the film with his wife Kristine Hostetter Fine. Before its US release, Any Day Now won awards, including the 2012 Audience Award at six different film festivals, including the Tribeca Film Festival, Outfest and Woodstock Film Festival.^{[citation needed]}
