Bio:
I am an award winning, SAG, managed, represented, actor with credits in lead or major roles in most of my nearly 60 films and 21 plays. I also do producing , directing and coaching and have done commercials , tv , dinner theatre , comedy improv , stunts, vo and more. In 2003 I accepted the Audience Choice Award for Best Actor, chosen from the actors in the 17 films at Cambridge film fest, and in 2004 I was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at Sundies. In 2007, my film "Bairstow and Miller" in which I portray Bairstow, swept all the awards in the Artist Exchange film fest and was chosen to screen as Best of 2007 at the Coolidge Cinema. I also played the boss in the film "Bourbon" which is a short gangster film and in 2007 it won the Best Short Award at the Plymouth film fest by beating another short gangster film which starred James Gandolfini, Joe Mantegna, and Steven R. Mcqueen, grandson of the icon, among others. My starring role in the indie "Divine Intervention" got a very nice review on the Rottentomatoes.com indie film site. Just completed lead role in SAG low budget film, "Vile".
In the last few weeks I have worked with Andy Garcia, Chris Walken,(cool cuz I am often called the Boston Chris Walken), Morgan Freeman, William Macy among others. Over the Halloween week I did gig on stage live doing old time radio drama acting in a Scottish accent to packed paying houses and the first night an audience member fainted from the suspense.
Currently I am filming in the feature, "Real Men Cry" with Ethan Hawk and Mark Ruffalo and Brian Goodman at the prison in Billerica.
"Real Men Cry" is now called "What Doesn't Kill You" and screened to the acclaim of a long standing ovation at the prestigious Toronto Int'l Film Fest a couple weeks ago.

Created On: 03/18/2007 22:20:44 Vic is one bad-ass homicidal maniac... his performance in Divine Intervention made me not want to be in the same room with him if at all possible... which doesn't bode well for our friendship, but says a lot about his acting!!
Several of the Beanywood members have participated this past weekend in the 48 hr Film Project. The full of screenings are below. My work will screen ...
