Born in the Dominican Republic on July 27, 1939, Victor
emigrated with his family to New York City when he was a
child. It was in New York that he caught the acting bug. He
was influenced by Miriam Colon's bilingual theatre company of
which he became a member and received his early training. The
other major influence in his life was the late John Cassavetes
with whom he held a deep friendship and profound professional
respect.
