Biography
Victor Albaum is an award-winning actor and producer known for playing charismatically bold performers, lovable misfits, and offbeat scene-stealers. He brings both a comedic flair and grounded heart to every role. As an artist, he gravitates toward stories about underdogs who overcome obstacles and succeed despite the odds, especially roles where the character is striving to be their most authentic self.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, Victor is the middle child of seven siblings. Though he spent his early years immersed in athletics including football, swimming, judo, track and field, cross country, and baseball, he found his creative calling in theatre. After moving to the Antelope Valley at age eleven, he began performing in the local community theatre scene. By sixteen, he had earned the Art Bucaro Scholarship from Palmdale Repertory Theatre, and was selected to attend the California State Summer School for the Arts where he was named a California Arts Scholar.
Victor went on to attend Idyllwild Arts Academy for his final two years of high school, and was the first recipient of the Passionate Artist Award. He then moved to Chicago and earned his BFA in Musical Theatre from the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University. After graduating, he moved to New York City, and performed in touring and regional theatre productions across the country. Stage credits include Twelfth Night, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Pretentious Young Ladies, South Pacific, Peter Pan, and Grease.
