A veteran of more than 300 commercials, film, theatre and television, Tony Travis and his four siblings were raised by Italian parents.
      Growing up in the city of neon lights and Broadway marquees, it's no wonder that Tony found himself drawn to the life of Arts & Entertainment. An accomplished singer and muscian, Tony began his career as lead vocalist for the rock band Christmas In July, during which time he spent a good portion of his youth playing clubs in and around Brooklyn.
      The charismatic showman won wide acclaim playing the Referee in the long-running wrestling musical Tanzi, produced by John Wells. Some of his other stage credits include, Your Own Thing, A Gorgeous Piece, Dracula, and Joe’s Opera.
      Tony has guest-starred on numerous television shows, and had supporting roles in such movies as the Bruce Willis blockbuster, Die Hard With A Vengeance, Roger Corman's Recruits, and the cult favorite, Flesh Gordon Meets the Cosmic Cheerleaders.
      Aside from his acting credits, Tony has also written a half hour CBS comedy pilot Futurstars, and People Radio Magazine, a nationally syndicated radio program. He wrote and directed the hit, Revue Roxetts, at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, and was a founding member of the popular improv group: The Lunatics. A man of many talents, Tony has also composed over 100 songs, including tunes heard in Tony N'Tina's Wedding.
      Tony is married to opera singer Karen Ramey, and has a dog named Pez. Dividing his time between New York and Los Angeles, he formed Pez Productions to develop and produce works for film, television and theatre.
