Travis Fine

An actor, writer, and director with a highly unconventional career, Travis Fine is best known for his youthful stint on the Western show "The Young Riders" as mute horse rider Ike McSwain. Fine appeared on the series from 1989 to 1991, and subsequently turned up in various TV movies while shifting to writing and directing. After supporting parts in "The Thin Red Line," Terrence Malick's lauded war film, and the moody drama "Girl, Interrupted," Fine decided to become an airline pilot and largely stayed away from the screen. He returned to writing and directing in 2010, however, and won accolades for his emotive 2012 drama, "Any Day Now."
