In 1988, Randy Travis got a taste of Hollywood when he took a small role in the film "Young Guns." Then, after recording back-to-back albums and touring endlessly for years, in 1993, he decided to take a year to focus solely on making films. He worked on five movies, four of which were Westerns. According to The Country Daily, he worked on "Maverick" with Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson, "Dead Man's Revenge" with Bruce Dern, "Frank and Jesse," "The Legend of O.B. Taggart" with Mickey Rooney, and "At Risk," which is described as the "only non-Western in the bunch."
In 1994, he returned to his music career with the album "This is Me." Four singles from that album made it to the top ten on the Billboard charts. But Randy Travis didn't stop acting. He had a part in the film "The Rainmaker," starring Matt Damon, in 1997, and made numerous guest appearances on TV shows including "Matlock," "Touched by an Angel," "Frasier," and "Sabrina the Teenage Witch." While Randy enjoyed working in film and television, he told The Country Daily, "music is my first love, and it will always be."
