It was then that Hal Roach found him, signed him on a long-term contract, is now starring him in "1,000,000 B.C." Victor is six feet three, weighs an even 200 pounds, is a former Golden Gloves boxer, has blue eyes, black hair, a matinee idol's profile; is addicted to acting, fast workouts in the gym.
