Mr. Victor Rivas Rivers
In 1978, the Miami Herald dubbed Victor Rivas (AKA Victor Rivers) "The Longest Long Shot" when he became the first Cuban American to be out for two seasons with the Miami Dolphins. He had defied the odds by surviving a violent upbringing and by playing in the postion of offensive guard- usually reserved football players much larger than he was at the time. Coming next to Hollywood in 1979, again as a long shot, he went on to attain starring roles in television, film and on stage.
Today Victor Rivers is a veteran star of more than two dozen films, with a worldwide following for such memorable roles as Magic Mike, the prision gang warlord in the cult hit BLOOD IN/BLOOD OUt and as Joaquin Murrietta, Antonio Bandera's ill-fated brother in THE MASK OF ZORRO. In 1999 Victor became the national spokesperson for the National Network to End Domestic Violence.
Today having broken the cycle of violence, Victor Rivas Rivers is also a devoted husband and father- what he believes are his two most important roles. Visit his website. Watch a video receiving the 21 Leaders for the 21st Century Award.
