Line 60:
=== Tropes associated with Travis Willingham ===
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: Though he got into it pretty late, he was a massive fan of Dragonball Z and therefore [[Jumped At the Call|jumped at the chance to voice an anime character.]] ''ANY'' anime character.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: With [[Fullmetal Alchemist (
* [[Badass]]: A lot of character he voices fit into this.
** [[Badass Baritone]]: A good factor as to why his vocal performances are so effective for this type of character.
Line 68:
* [[Gentle Giant]]: Very tall, but can be a big sweetheart. Exhibit A: Playing [[Ouran High School Host Club|Mori]] for a Honey cosplayer at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi4apf4hiHo Kawaii-Con].
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: As he's 6'3", he is most likely to be this with his wife [[Laura Bailey]].
* [[Kill It
* [[Large Ham]]: Oh YEAH!!! There is a reason why he is called Travis Willing'''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|HAM]]'''! Apparently he auditioned for Armstrong in [[Fullmetal Alchemist (
** And then there's his performance as [[Bleach|Charlotte]], which is massively [[Playing Against Type]] but still manages to be so absurdly [[Camp Gay]] and FABULOUS it borders on ridiculous.
*** Going further than that, there is also [[Blaz Blue|Relius]]. Although given that he looks a lot like the [[Phantom of the Opera]], it was obvious he would be this. And thanks to some leaked footage of the English dub, his performance doesn't disappoint.
* [[Order Versus Chaos]]: if [[Authority Equals Asskicking]] rings a bell, a lot of his characters he voices will fall into the "order" side.
* [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor]]: normally the high authority/military figure or law-abiding character who [[Authority Equals Asskicking|shows his authority by kicking some ass]]. [[Fullmetal Alchemist (
** Considering one of his most recent roles was [[Bleach|Char]][[Drag Queen|lotte]]...mission accomplished.
*** And now he's [[Blaz Blue|Relius Clover]], practically the furthest character from his pigeonhole, being a [[Mad Scientist]] [[Complete Monster]] and all. Unless you count that despite his atrocity, Relius is still one of the highest ranking member of NOL and one of the people who could've been stronger than Hazama, thereby adhering to [[Authority Equals Asskicking]].
