Theatre and Speech Alum, Victor Almanzar Accepts the Townsend Harris Award and Shares His Journey from the Military to the Stage

Victor Almanzar is a New York-based actor who immigrated from the Dominican Republic at an early age. Before pursuing acting, Victor served in the United States Marine Corps, completing tours in Kosovo and Iraq. His journey into acting began at City College of New York, where discovering the Theater and Speech program rekindled his passion for the performing arts. At City College, he earned recognition, awards, and encouragement from professors who inspired him to consider acting as a serious career. Since then, he has performed on the New York stage, in regional theaters, and in London. He appeared as Oswaldo in the Pulitzer Prize-winning production of Between Riverside and Crazy at The Atlantic Theater and Second Stage Theater (NYC) and the Steppenwolf Theater (Chicago). He was nominated for the Lucille Lortel Award for his role in Between Riverside and Crazy and is a proud lifetime member of The Actors Studio.
