Who is Victor Rasuk?

Victor Rasuk was born on 15 January 1984, in New York City, USA, of Dominican descent, and is an actor, best known for his work in the films “Raising Victor Vargas” and “Lords of Dogtown”. He’s also been a main cast member of shows such as “Stalker” and “How to Make it in America”.

 The Wealth of Victor Rasuk

As of late-2019, sources estimate a net worth that is over $2 million, earned through a successful career in acting. He’s been active in the entertainment industry since 1999 and has worked on numerous mainstream films during his career.

Early Life and Career Beginnings

Victor grew-up in New York where his father worked at an auto shop while his mother was a seamstress. He grew up alongside a brother, and both of them aspired to pursue careers in the entertainment industry. At a young age, he began taking lessons at a performing arts school and at the age of 14, he got his first role in the short film entitled “Five Feet High and Rising”.

During the making of that film, it was suggested to him by the director that they expand it to a full feature, leading to the creation of “Raising Victor Vargas”. The comedy film follows the story of a teenager as he tries to manage his eccentric family while also trying to win the affection of a girl. The film was screened during the 2002 Cannes Film Festival and was successful, leading him to gain a nomination during the 19^th Independent Spirit Awards for Best Debut Performance.

Rise to Prominence

He continued working on independent films in the next few years, and then had another lead role in the film entitled “Haven”, which was aired at the Toronto International Film Festival. It is set in the Cayman Islands, and follows the story of differing people whose lives intersect, creating a chain of violence and chaos. In 2005, he portrayed skateboarder Tony Alva in the biographical film entitled “Lords of Dogtown”. To handle the role, he had to do surfing and skateboarding tricks, so learning the craft. The more complicated tricks were performed by stuntmen though, preferring a method acting approach to the role.

He tried to skate a huge ramp during the second week of training and fractured one of his orbital bones as a result. He later stated that at the very least, he earned respect from the skaters in the cast. Over the next few years, he had more roles, such as in “I’m Reed Fish”, ‘Bonneville”, and “Adrift in Manhattan”. In 2008, he played the role of a Private in “Stop-Loss”, a war film starring Channing Tatum and Ryan Philippe, which follows the story of young soldiers who are left psychologically scarred after their experience during the Iraq War.

Recent Projects

After working in films such as “The War Boys” and “Life is Hot in Cracktown”, Victor was cast in “How to Make it In America” as the character Cam Calderon. The series ran on HBO for two seasons, following the lives of two friends who try to make it big in New York City’s fashion scene. The show was eventually cancelled due to its inability to garner a large audience. In the meantime, he returned to film work, and had a role in the film “Godzilla” – the monster film is a reboot of the “Godzilla” franchise, making it the 30^th film overall.

It is the second film to be completely produced in Hollywood, starring Elizabeth Olsen, and Ken Watanabe. It follows the story of a soldier who is caught in a crossfire between Godzilla and two other monsters. In 2016, he had a starring role during a season of “Colony” as the character BB. The science fiction show starred Sarah Wayne Calles and Josh Holloway, lasting for three seasons before getting cancelled. A few of his latest projects include the film adaptations of the “Fifty Shades” trilogy, in which he portrayed Jose Rodriguez.
