Travis was once referred to as a Renaissance man for the number of pies into which he has placed his pudgy fingers, but he insists the illusion is just an imaginative version of the dastardly game of survival: always passing Go, winning an occasional hotel on Boardwalk, but never collecting the fucking $200.
Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Best Actor Award-winning actor/playwright Travis Michael Holder plays a leading role in the feature film he co-wrote based on his hit play Surprise Surprise.

Surprise Surprise originally debuted onstage to critical acclaim at the Victory Theatre Center in Burbank, California, featuring Holder opposite Gilligan’s Island rescuee Dawn Wells. The Los Angeles Daily News called Surprise Surprise: "A cogent human drama with strong, likable characters…intelligent humor and a series of conflicts that present a discerning commentary about what people need from each other… Sensitive without being phony or maudlin, Surprise, Surprise scores first and foremost for what it’s about: respect, the need to belong and the incalculable importance of reaching out to other human beings in distress."
The feature film version is produced, co-adapted and directed by Surprise Surprise original castmember Jerry Turner and stars Holder along with John Brotherton (The Conjuring, Fast and Furious 7, One Life to Live), former Miss USA Deborah Shelton(Mandy Winger on Dallas, Gloria Revelle in Body Double), Luke Eberl (Sam in Clint Eastwood's Letters from Iwo Jima, Birn in Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes), and the illustrious Mary Jo Catlett (Pearl on Diff'rent Strokes, Sponge Bob's Mrs. Puff, Mabel in Pajama Game and the original Ernestina in Hello Dolly! on Broadway).
