Link to the n*de dudes
Look at this guy! He's shorter than Noah Bromley, who plays the evil Penny-Throwing Kid. Of course I've got to research him.
He's Travis Turner, born in Oliver, British Columbia, in 1987, raised in nearby Penticton in the Sylix Okangan Nation, although he doesn't mention being First Nation. Cody Kearsley, Moose in the Riverdale series, is from Oliver also. Maybe they knew each other.
After high school Travis painted oil rigs and sold vacuum cleaners, then moved to Vancouver to study film at Langara College. He received his diploma in 2009. .
He appeared in a lot of shorts in 2009-2010, such as "Henchin'," "Scars," "Snow Tramp," and "Dream a Little Dream," plus the Vancouver-based Easter Bunny Bloodbath (2010), as one of the victims of a psycho-killer dressed as the Easter Bunny. Here he appears in an illustration in the novelization. There was a novelization?
Travis' first high-profile role was in a 2010 episode of Caprica, the Battlestar Galactica spin-off. He played Ashok, a resident of a virtual world who briefly interacts with Tamara and Heracles ( Richard Harmon).
According to the IMDB, Travis is best known for Final Destination: Blood Lines (2025).
A 2024 episode of Wild Cards, a Canadian police procedural featuring a "will they or won't they" couple, Max (a lady) and Cole (Giacomo Gianniotti). They investigate a missing butcher in a small town, and find a murderous cult. Travis plays Daryl, who doesn't appear in the plot synopsis.
A 2023 episode of Upload, where you can be uploaded to a virtual afterlife when you die (if they get to your body right away). Focus couple Nora and Nathan (Robbie Ammell) have returned to the real world, look for jobs, and discover that Nathan has a duplicate (apparently you can return to the real world multiple times). Travis plays Tom, who does not appear in the episode synopsis.
The anime Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction (2024): Two high schoolers (a boy and a girl, of course) face an alien invasion. He voices the English dub of Makato Tainuma, a boy who dresses in girls' clothes. According to TV Tropes, he denies being gay or trans; he just wants to look cute.
Some Assembly Required (2014-16), a Nickelodeon teencom starring Kolton Stewart as a teenager who becomes CEO of a toy company, and hires all of his friends. Travis played Aster Vanderburg, the snobbish, snarky, fashion-obsessed head of the Design Department (named after the Gilded Age Mrs. Aster). He's gay-coded for 45 episodes before queerbaiting viewers with The Girl of His Dreams.
More after the break
The others have even more embarrassing titles.
Travis has also appeared in some Christmas romcoms, like A Princess for Christmas (2011): he plays Milo, the troublemaking, holiday-hating teenage nephew that focus character Jules is saddled with as she visits the family's palace and falls in love with Sam Heighan.
A Fairly Odd Christmas (2012) is a live-action installment in the Fairly Oddparents franchise: the adult Timmy Turner (Drake Bell, right) screws up Santa Claus's Naughty/Nice list, so he has to go on a perilous journey with his friends and two elves (Travis Turner and a girl). There's a fade-out boy-girl kiss, but not between the elves.
Bonus: Dylan Playfair, breakout star of No Assembly Required
