“Travis Myers and John Lacy nail their scene "They Fell" as best drinking buds. Don't want to give the 'punchline' of this scene away. Just be prepared to laugh out loud- a lot!” - Gill Kaan
Almost Maine Review
Discover Hollywood
“They Fell , featuring Travis Myers and John Lacy is the controversial segment of the series. Because of this comic rendition of falling in love, the play has been banned in some schools. We, however, laughed heartily at the events as they transpired before us. And I ask, who hasn't felt love for their best friend?”
-Suzanne Birrell

“The good ol’ boys brought to life by the pitch-perfectly macho pair of Travis Myers and John Lacy as Chad and Randy had this reviewer falling for the short but oh-so-sweet “They Fell.” -Steven Stanley
Seattle P.I.
“One of the funniest scenes involves a machismo contest between Caucasian Nathan, played by Travis Myers, and Asian American Colin, Jose Abaoag III.”
-Joe Adcock

SGN A&E
“I still think Travis Myers as a lunk-headed small town anti-hero to Ray Tagavilla's sort of hero, is the greatest thing to hit a Seattle stage for some time. Keep your eyes out for more of him in the future.”
-Rajkhet Dirzhud-Rashid
Cowboy Versus Samurai Review
SGN A&E
“This particular episode will be even sexier than the other 15, and in some ways it is (hunky Travis Myers, who plays Nathan, strips down to his waist in a fantasy scene that's as funny as it is sexy).”
