Victor started out his life in Cleveland and by the time high school came around he decided to become an electrical engineer. He says he was not necessarily a trouble maker –okay he was a trouble maker- and he wasn’t admitted to the engineering section. The only way he could stay at the high school with his friends was to join this performing arts thing. By 10th grade he’d been bit by the bug. After three years at Kent State he earned his BFA at the renowned North Carolina School of the Arts, and upon graduation, with $50 in his pocket, he headed off to New York City. Victor’s impressive and substantial body of work includes New York shows at the Public Theatre and the Manhattan Theatre Club, as well as numerous regional appearances on the west coast at such theatres as Berkley Rep, ACT, La Jolla Playhouse, South Coast Rep and San Jose Rep. Portland audiences have enjoyed his award-winning work all over town; in all three of August Wilson’s plays produced by Portland Playhouse, in two Sojourn Theatre productions, two CoHo productions, four Artists Repertory Theatre productions to name a few. Victor has had recurring flying dreams, but says he doesn’t have them as often as he used to. He misses them. In the dream there are no boundaries and he awakens with great anticipation of good. He expects to have many such dreams during the rehearsals of the Brother/Sister plays, his Portland directing debut. Give the man some pecan pie.
