JOHNNY TRAVERS

Acting

I’m a New York–based actor from Cape Cod, Massachusetts (he/him). I trained at Fordham University and earned an MA in Classical Acting from the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art. I’m drawn to raw, character-driven work that lives at the intersection of vulnerability and intensity, and to stories that center underrepresented racial, neurological, and gender identities.

Writing

I’m also the writer of Stormchaser, a character-driven feature exploring identity, obsession, and masculinity through the world of professional MMA. Centered on an autistic fighter navigating both the cage and a sensory-overwhelming city, the project reflects my interest in physically demanding storytelling, lived experience, and characters rarely given narrative control.
