“ I would like to thank InstantCast for helping me find success and get cast: Through InstantCast I got cast in a Panasonic Print Ad and a Kuma War Foreign Language Video Game Voiceover Project. I also won the Indiana Jones Contest and got to go to the Early Screening of Indiana Jones and then be on TRL (Total Request Live), MTV. It is because of InstantCast that I was able to find the casting and apply and then finally get Panasonic Print Ad and Kuma War Foreign Language Video Game Voiceover Project booked. I thank you for all that and much more to come.”

Roman! I was instantly attracted to Victor’s profile because of his endearing look and honest profile.

Victor recognizes his unique qualities saying, “I am star material because I am uniquely different in my appearance and ideas. People have told me I have the perfect look to play the role of the villain in the movies because of my face/physique.”

He states he wants to play a vampire in a film…I think he should apply for Twilight’s sequel New Moon on InstantCast!
