Bio
Trevor Champion Rogers grew up in the northern panhandle of West Virginia in the once booming,then dried-up, and now booming again, coal town named Moundsville.
He first moved to Pittsburgh, as its close proximity made it seem a good baby-step. There, he was exposed to an illusionary dance called Liquid that intrigued him, and he learned the rudiments before moving back home to West Virginia. The strengthening of the mind-body connection gained from this, as well as many other forms of urban dance that he came to study from afar, became a lifelong interest.
Starting theatre after returning from Pittsburgh, utilizing insights gleaned from the dance, and being blessed with an incredible director and tutor, Hal O’Leary, he earned accolades for roles in Wheeling’s Towngate community theatre. The performing struck a chord in his soul, and he realized that he was happiest with friends, telling them stories and entertaining them. All it took was being paid to perform roles left unfilled at the local university to make him think of seriously pursing entertainment as a living. He then tapped a high school hobby and set himself up as a network administrator and settled down to both save for the move and have a way to earn money when finally arriving in Los Angeles. In the meantime,he started intense training in MMA style jujitsu mixed with boxing style striking. It was a good outlet for the desire to cultivate the mind-body connection.
A few years later, with a few grand and a motorcycle(shipped!), he struck out for Los Angeles to get established near the industry. Crashing on a friends couch at first before getting a place, he found companies leary of hiring someone new to the area, and was running out of money. Then it happened, as it so often does in Hollywood, someone called someone desperately needing an extra hand for a movie shoot, as a Production Assistant. His friend, a busy PA, was booked, but suggested him. He was the only one available to them so they hired him and liked his work ethic, and his name spread from there, and he was able to work and learn both the industry, and the professionalism expected from an actor.
