American singer Randy Travis has starred in a number of films and television series ranging from 1984 to 2013.
One of Travis's first roles was the Emilio Estevez movie Young Guns, although most of his part was cut from the final edit.[1] Travis took a minor role in an episode of Matlock in 1992, a move which he later said inspired him to continue acting.[2] While most of his early roles were in the Western genre, Travis began to move beyond this genre with A Holiday to Remember in 1995.[3] He also played a country music singer in the 1998 movie Black Dog.[4]
