RANDY TRAVIS |
BACKGROUND INFORMATION Randy Travis (born Randy Traywick) was a teenage North Carolina hell-raiser; drinking, fighting, doing drugs and committing petty crimes on a path pointed straight toward prison until music turned his life around. The rebel ninth-grade dropout "found himself" in the spotlight of a Charlotte, NC nightclub. With the help and direction of the club's owner, Lib Hatcher, Randy underwent a startling transformation. He and Lib married in 1991. In 1992, he became the first country artist to release two simultaneous albums. In 1994, he took a year and a half off the road to launch his film career with a variety of roles. Some of them include his appearance with Rob Lowe and Bill Paxton in "Frank and Jesse"; with Bruce Dern in "Dead Man's Revenge"; with Ben Johnson and MIckey Rooney in "The Legend of O.B. Taggart"; and with Steven Seagal in "Fire Down Below". He has been a guest star on such top-rated TV dramas as "Matlock" and "Touched By An Angel". He was featured in Aaron Spelling's mini-series "Texas". Below is a partial listing of his Discography and Movies & TV shows accomplishments.
