As an athlete, Fimmel likes to perform tricks and fighting techniques. To cope with the role, Travis used “combat experience” and training for the Viking shooting, but stylish fights in Warcraft were quite different from the ones of brutal Viking Makhach.

Fimmel originates from the farm, so is used to healthy lifestyle. He enjoys fishing, loves walking, hiking, nature, and so forth.

Travis prefers whiskey to beer and eats both meat and vegetables with pleasure. During the preparation and filming of the Scandinavian warrior in Viking, Fimmel controlled his eating and carefully followed the weight gain – in fact he stuck to the Scandinavian diet.
