Travis Fimmel has been attracting attention for nearly two decades. But it wasn't until his appearance as the electric Ragnar Lothbrok in History's Vikings that Fim burst into the mainstream. His Ragnar is a study of contrasts: equal parts savage and intellectual; lovers and fighters; explorers and farmers. In that sense, Travis Fimmel is a man whose journey has been full of twists and turns.

In addition to his acclaimed historical fantasy roaming and heist shows, Fimmel has starred in the live-action film adaptation of the video game Warcraft and a quirky indie rom-com called Plan Maggie, written and directed by Rebecca Miller. He also played the leader of a gang of thieves Finding Steve McQueen in 1972 and one of the few survivors of Earth's destruction in Raised by Wolves.

Travis Fimmel is a prominent man who, despite increasing money and fame, chooses to live a simple life. He is a successful actor who doesn't give much thought to his chosen profession, according to GQ. He went from an underwear model with a clean Dreamboat face to a specialist in scarred and haggard characters with bushy beards and inscrutable facial expressions. How much of this is storyline and how much Fimmel is is unclear, as Fimmel himself was a humble and mysterious man. However, like Ragnar, according to People, Fimmel started life as a farmer with no dreams of fame or ego. After years of adventure and soul searching, he returns to the ranch still yearning for the glory of it all.
