Full Bio
Fimmel grew up on a farm outside of Echuca, Australia. He came to the United States and had a successful audition with Calvin Klein executives. Fimmel’s relatively slender physique broke out of the mold set by Calvin Klein’s previous hard-body poster-boys like Mark Wahlberg, Antonio Sabato and Michael Bergin.
In 2003, Fimmel was chosen to star in an American television series based on the character of Tarzan, but the show only lasted a few episodes. He was later chosen to star in another series, “Rocky Point,” which has not yet been broadcast.
In 2005, Travis Fimmel has been chosen to star one of the three main characters, in a psychological thriller “Guests” which action is in Sydney, Australia. The filming will begin at the end of august 2005. He will have the role of an addicted- drugs killer who, with his girlfriend, will scare and take in hostage an agoraphobic man in his house. An avid barefooter, Fimmel claims to go barefoot almost exclusively.
Fimmel has played a diverse spectrum of characters on the small and big screens. In 2008, he portrayed a murderer in “Restraint” and a party boy in “Surfer, Dude” with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
It was Fimmel’s role as Helweg, a cheeky-but-brutish prison guard, that saw him star opposite Academy Award recipients Adrien Brody and Forest Whitaker as well as Cam Gigandet in the 2010 film release “The Experiment.” It was reported that the role originally went to Elijah Wood, who pulled out of shooting for reasons unknown, so Fimmel instead took the job.
Fimmel’s TV profile received a boost when he starred opposite Patrick Swayze in cable network A&E’s 2009 series, “The Beast” (screened in Australia on ABC2). He played rookie undercover FBI agent Ellis Dove partnered with a hardened veteran cop, Swayze’s Charles Barker. Fimmel’s character relies on his wits to navigate a high-pressure environment, browbeaten by Barker and resisting attempts by Internal Affairs to force him to spy on his mentor.
He co-starred with Billy Bob Thornton and Eva Longoria in the 2013 redneck Southern comedy flick “The Baytown Outlaws.” He played one of the three hapless Oodie brothers who bites off more than he can chew when he agrees to help a woman get her godson back from her deadbeat ex-husband.
Fimmel was signed as the lead character in the television series “Vikings,” costarring Jessalyn Gilsig, Katheryn Winnick and Gabriel Byrne. Premiering in 2013, the show was filmed in Ireland over 18 weeks and chronicles “the extraordinary and ferocious world of the mighty Norsemen who raided, traded and explored during medieval times.”
Fimmel will be starring in “Warcraft,” a live action adaptation based on the video games of the same name.
