It didn’t take long for Travis Willingham ’03 to hit the “big time.” Last spring he was on the stage at University Theater. This fall he appeared in the A-list productions of Secondhand Lions, starring Robert Duvall, Michael Caine and Haley Joel Osment. Willingham played a gang member who takes a beating from 72-year-old Duvall. “Being punched repeatedly in the face by Robert Duvall has been my favorite career experience so far,” Willingham said. Throughout his four years at TCU, the Dallas native balanced academic demands with movie roles, local and national commercial work and TCU Theatre productions. Since his graduation in May, Willingham concentrated full-time on his acting career. He recently completed work on Unchain My Heart: The Ray Charles Story, scheduled for release next year.
