At a young age, Vic Browder came to the realization that he wanted a life in the performing arts. A dynamic, bold, truthfully courageous and dedicated actor, Browder is known for for Sicario, Waco, The Magnificent Seven, Godless, Succession and over 100 other film and TV projects. He's worked with Liam Neeson, Ethan Hawke, Edris Ilba, Peter Sarasgaard, David Strathairn, Michael Shannon and Cuba Gooding.
Born in Las Vegas, Nevada, he was poor and sometimes homeless while his mother struggled to keep her six children safe and healthy. It was his early introduction to local theatre that gave him a place to escape the drugs, crime and poverty that surrounded his youth. The creative arts became his sanctuary for self expression and emotional support.
His passion led to college at Southern Utah University and the Utah Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City, Utah and then to Florida State University's Asolo Conservatory in Sarasota for his MFA.
WIth his Masters Degree, Browder headed back to the Southwest and eventually landed in Albuquerque. After a while Browder felt constrained by limited opportunities for actors so he planned a move to Chicago for their flourishing theatre community. Luckily, he met a few New Mexico folks that talked him into staying for the film opportunities that were about to explode.
In 2007 Browder became a founding member of the professional "Mother Road Theatre Company" where he acts, directs, designs, builds and produces some of the best theatre in the Southwest.
After establishing himself as a respected and sought after talent in small black box venues in Albuquerque, he expanded into acting on camera. Through the the "Duke City Shootout" and the New Mexico "48-Hour Film Festival," Browder has been featured in dozens of short films helping young filmmakers tell their story. Browder lives to share the gift of story which can be a powerful tool to those that need to hear it.
New Mexico has provided a great support group including his wife Julia, his agent Carissa Mitchell, the awesome cast of characters with the "Mother Road Theatre Company" and a handful of close friends.
Browder prides himself on being an accomplished acting teacher and director. When not in production for "Mother Road Theatre Company" or on a film set, he does private coaching, audition taping and classes through the New Mexico Actors Co-op.
