Travis Bergmann

Travis Bergmann is a freelance actor and software developer from Boston, MA. He debuted the role of Zar Vox in Apocalypso Ascendant.

Early Life
Travis Bergmann was born in the village of Waunakee, Wisconsin in September of 1996. While in Waunakee, Travis was not into acting with the exception of making occasional YouTube videos with his friends. It wasn't until his senior year of high school that Bergmann had his first scripted acting experience. In his school's rendition of You Can't Take It With You, the actor portraying the role of Kolenkhov dropped out; after some convincing from his classmate, Travis agreed to step into the role. He enjoyed it more than he thought he would and this experience made him wish that he had spent more time acting in high school. While this did not immediately hook him on acting, he was more interested in than he had been before.

Moving to Boston
Upon graduation from high school, Travis knew he wanted to get out of Wisconsin. When deciding where he wanted to go, it came down to Denver University in Denver, CO, and Northeastern University in Boston, MA. Between Northeastern's co-op program and a visit to Boston as a kid, he decided to come to the East Coast.

Early Work
In his freshman year of college, Travis applied for and was rejected by the Northeastern University improv troupe. However, he and the others who were auditioning decided to start meeting up and doing improv for fun. This became the improve troupe No Jokes; Travis was one of the founding members. Eventually, this became an official club at Northeastern.

It wasn't until his third year of college that Travis was in his first short film. This film, titled In the Dark, strongly influenced his desire to act in film, which he auditioned for on a whim. After this, he worked on the short film, On Set while also performing in three stage productions that semester. Being busy and not taking a breath is what enticed him to enter the fast paced world of scripted work.

Apocalypso Work
Travis auditioned for the role of Zar Vox via Backstage. After a month and a half of no response from the production team, he finally heard back in late May 2021. Travis got the part out of 22 other candidates, and began working with the production team immediately. In July of 2021, he participated in the Apocalypso Ascendant table read and began filming with the rest of the crew.
