At the age of 20, after serving his country with the French Foreign Legion, Xavier embarked on a global journey, visiting Europe (Monaco, Spain, Italy), Africa (Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Somalia), Tahiti, the Caribbean (St. Martin, St. Barth, Guadeloupe), and La Réunion (Mauritius, Seychelles Islands). While in St. Martin, producers of the TV show "Greatest Sports Legends" discovered him. He was offered a contract for two personal workout videos and became known as the European Hunk in the personal training workout video scene. Subsequently, he received modeling contracts and invitations to promote in the U.S. on shows such as "Regis and Kathy Lee," "MSN Show BIZ," "Entertainment Tonight," "E! Entertainment," "Good Morning America," "Extra," "Access Hollywood," "Today in LA," "USA Live," "Hard Copy," "Arthel and Fred," "Evening Magazine," "New York's Entertainment Drive," "East Coast Home and Family," "LA's Hot Spots Magazine Live," and "Bloomberg New York."
Xavier moved to New York to launch a new career with the William Morris Talent Agency and secured a holding deal with Harvey Weinstein at Miramax as an emerging action star. He was then introduced to Jake Bloom in Hollywood, who arranged a screen test for Jonathan Dolgen, President of Sony Pictures. This led to a four-picture deal, earning six figures per film. Later, he worked with Avi Nesher, signing a six-picture deal. Xavier continued negotiating in Hollywood, securing a four-picture deal with Interlight. He co-starred in the popular television series "Conan," earning the title of the 21st Tarzan for television. A widely publicized search for his co-star "Jane" took place in New York at the renowned Planet Hollywood Cafe.
Xavier remains dedicated to his extensive martial arts training, holding three black belts. He attributes his martial arts success to the "Iron Tiger of Persia," three-time world champion Master Nikoo. Xavier has won numerous gold medals in weapons, forms, sparring, and judo championships. He left the U.S. to pursue internal training in Shaolin Kung Fu. Returning to the States, he became Hollywood’s personal training expert for stars, entertainment figures, and music moguls. Recently married to actress Rebecca Ferratti, he is preparing to return to the entertainment industry.
