Victor Rivas Rivers

A veteran star of more than two dozen films, Victor Rivers may be best known for such roles as Magic Mike, the prison gang warlord in the cult hit Blood In/Blood Out, Eddie Murphy’s sidekick in The Distinguished Gentleman, and Antonio Banderas’ ill-fated brother in The Mask of Zorro. He can be seen in the award-winning What’s Cooking? – a film that celebrates family, diversity and food – and appears in The Hulk, the Ang Lee directed blockbuster. On television Victor has guest starred on such hit shows as Better Call Saul, Modern Family, C.S.I. Miami, 24, Miami Vice, Jag, and Star Trek. Victor has a couple of upcoming films: Slipping into Darkness, which won Best Film at the Latino Film Festival and had a run on HBO/Latino in 2020, and a Netflix romantic comedy, Let It Snow.

Born in Sancti Spiritus, Cuba, Victor came with his family to this country at the age of two, enduring horrific child abuse and witnessing domestic violence on the level of torture at the hands of his father. At age fifteen, Victor took the then unprecedented legal action against his father, going on to live with a series of foster families. Thanks to the intervention of his community, he turned his life around dramatically – going from hard-core gang-member to senior class President and lettering in four sports. He attended Florida State University on a full four-year football scholarship and was mentored by Coach Bobby Bowden. A team captain and scholar athlete, upon graduation he was drafted by the Miami Dolphins with whom he was out as an offensive lineman for their 1978/79 seasons.

In 1999, with a successful career and family of his own, Victor decided to break his silence about his childhood. Though much has improved over the past thirty years, domestic violence remains the most under-reported crime in America, what is often called "the Quiet Crime." For this reason, Victor has chosen to lend his voice and his story to the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) – a social change organization representing statewide coalitions, developing public policy, and spearheading efforts to provide more direct support to programs through information, research, funding, and training.

As National Spokesperson for the NNEDV, Mr. Rivers hopes to raise awareness that domestic violence cannot be treated exclusively as a woman’s issue; rather, he insists, it should be everyone’s issue. His ultimate survival and personal success convey the importance of intervention by others who helped him break the cycle of violence, something Victor hopes more people will do by taking a stand against our greatest yet most curable social disease.
