Before acting on screens, Travis acted in stages. She showed her interest in acting ever since she was in high school. Her first-ever work after graduating high school was in a play called ‘It’s Hard to be a Jew’.

Then she continued acting in her stage career by acting in ‘Brighton Beach Memoirs’, a film-based play. A member of the company, Naked Girls, she was also in ‘Aven U-Boys’, ‘King of Connecticut’, ‘I’m Not Rappaport’, and ‘My Children, My Africa’.

On-screen career

Nancy finally became a part of television in 1985. She made her screen debut through the novel-based movie ‘Malice in Wonderland’. Like many other fellow celebrities, she acted in numerous small roles at the start.

She continued up working in small roles acting in television series including Spenser: For Hire (1986), ‘Fallen Angles’ (1993). ‘Three Man and a Baby’ movie and its sequel also had an unforgettable part for Nancy.

Television

In terms of her work in television, she has been as active as in the movies. She has had regular roles in dramas like Almost Perfect (1995-1997), Work With Me (1999), Becker (2002-2004), and The Bill Engvall Show (2007-2009).

Voice Roles

Her profession also includes voice acting in Duckman (1994-1997), The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest (1996), and Superman: The Animated Series (1998).

Some of you might think Nancy’s work to be unnoticeable but even her small roles have a great impact on the movie. After all, only the main characters cannot make the movie the best one.

There is the hard work of every single actor in the work. Whether it is a minute or an hour in the movie, that person is still an actor and screen-time doesn’t decide her ability but her acting does and she has proved that through her regular works, right?

What’s she doing at present?

She has not stopped working even now. She was a regular part of the television sitcom Last Man Standing which aired from 2011 to 2017.

Nancy had the role of the main character’s wife, Vanessa Baxter. She was among the main cast of the series with Tim Allen. This can probably be called one of her favorite works as she has regularly mentioned her love to do long television series.

After long work in the drama, Travis is currently supposed to be taking some time off as there is no news about her other work at the moment.
