Filipino to the core
Written by Ms. Confuse on Saturday, October 25, 2008
Fil-Am Travis Kraft is a Los Angeles-based actor and model who has graced Philippine TV, billboards and fashion spreads in 2006 and 2007. He was a three-time North Dakota state wrestling champion and a graduate of Eastern Michigan University with a Telecommunications and Film Degree. After attending EMU on a wrestling scholarship, Travis moved to LA and studied acting and stunt fighting. Travis' mother is a Filipina. In spite of his Caucasian looks, Travis is a Filipino at heart who loves authentic Pinoy cuisines like adobo, lumpia and kare-kare. Travis is known for his unique, funny, and entertaining instructional cooking videos in Filipino that he wrote, directed, and hosted like American Adobo and Salo-salo. American Adobo has become one of the top favorites on youtube.com. In fact, he was invited to guest on TFC's Adobo Nation a few months ago. Salo-salo video can now be seen on limited DVD copies only and available upon ordering on-line. American Adobo video and Salo-salo teaser can be viewed via www.poolboyfilms.com, www.youtube.com, and other related sites.
His enthusiasm for the Filipino cuisine, language and culture is quite admirable. He was the host in the 17th Annual Festival of Philippine Arts and Culture last month in California. He was also featured on the July 11 issue of The Asian Journal SF magazine as "The White Dude Who Loves Pinoy Culture."
