Alongside a black and white image of himself sporting his trademark black hair and undercut, he wrote: "I feel the need to make something abundantly clear here. This is not to farm for sympathy and support, it’s a practicality as it’s resulted in missing out on a few recent opportunities."

He continued: "I am without representation and have been for my entire career. That means no management, no agent, no label, no publishing deal, just me. While I’m confident and hopeful that this will change eventually, I haven’t found the right fit."

Travis concluded: "So, if you have any interest in working with me as a film/tv composer, music producer and/or actor please reach out directly through my web page. Thank you."

He wants to further his career

Kevin and Kyra are also parents to daughter, Sosie Bacon, who is an actress too. 

The family recently starred in their first movie together, Family Movie, marking their debut collaboration. 

The fittingly-titled film is about a filmmaking family who finds themselves in a real-life horror movie when a body turns up on the set of their low-budget slasher, forcing them to cover up the murder to keep filming.

They enjoyed working together

Kyra told Entertainment Weekly that she and Kevin were pleasantly surprised by their children's reaction to working together. 

"We pitched it to the kids, thinking that they probably wouldn't be into it," she said. "I was so nervous. And they actually said yes. I was like, 'Wait, what? You wanna work with your parents?' It was pretty monumental."
