William "Wil" Traval is an Australian actor most known for his work as Dr. Jack Quade on All Saints, an Australian hospital drama. Traval was born on a strawberry farm near Colac in country Victoria, and part of Russian descent. He graduated from high school at the age of 16. His passion for acting began in high school when he and his friends spent their time making short films. He cast himself in many roles including a werewolf and a psychopath. He won numerous cinematography and directing awards at short film festivals. He studied Media and Literature at La Trobe University, but later he decided he would prefer to study at the National Institute of Dramatic Art. This led to him working a diverse selection of jobs including cook, hay baler, food critic, waiter, paver and personal assistant. He was originally denied entry to NIDA due to his young age. He continued to apply each year, until his persistence finally paid off.
