Spielberg quickly had Ravanello flown to Los Angeles where he met with Tom Hanks and Tony To. They discussed an upcoming project titled "Band of Brothers". Ravanello did not film the mini-series but Spielberg offered him a deal to star in an upcoming Dreamworks television project.
After his arrival in L.A., he earned a role in Hart's War (2002), in which he worked alongside Bruce Willis in Prague, Czech Republic. "The Cave" put him back onscreen with fellow "Hart's War" actor and friend Cole Hauser a couple of years later. Ravanello proved himself to be a very versatile performer with a range from character roles to the leading man.
The eldest son of Richard and Katherine Ravanello, the actor has three younger brothers, Chris, Lawrence, and the late Michael. (Michael sustained a brain injury back in 1994, which has left him hospitalized until his death.)
Ravanello supports many charitable groups including those that support The United States Military to those supporting cancer patients and their families. He loves to play golf and is an avid martial arts practitioner, with Muay Thai being a particular favorite.
