Victor is a multi award nominated Casting Director. He started his career in casting working for Lucinda Syson on the epic feature films TROY and Oliver Stone’s ALEXANDER. A little side step in to Indy film working on IT’S ALL GONE PETE TONG (underrated!) with Sam Chandley was followed (at the age of 24) by the opportunity to be the in house Casting Director for Hewland International. He spent 3 years there mainly working on the hit Sky One football drama DREAM TEAM which he took through to its final season. Wanting to expand his experience beyond in house he went on to become Casting Associate to the late Carrie Hilton, and then to Gary Davy for 2 years, working on a whole array of film and tv.
In 2010 he and fellow CD Kelly Valentine Hendry set up VHJ Casting, which over 7 years became known for casting many multi award winning shows including but not limited to BROADCHURCH, THE LAST KINGDOM, HUMANS, THE WRONG MANS, EPISODES (2 – 5) and FLEABAG as well as still running shows like GRANTCHESTER and UNFORGOTTEN. In 2017 it was time to go solo again and the first project as the newly set up VJC was the Netflix/BBC epic TROY: FALL OF A CITY, followed by shows such as the BBC’s WORLD ON FIRE, Amazon’s LEONARDO, Starz’ THE ROOK, and Sky’s DJANGO. Recent Film work includes Judd Apatow’s lockdown comedy THE BUBBLE for Netflix, and Baz Luhrmann’s short FLOWERS. He also has a long and successful collaborative relationship with Director Lewis Arnold and they are currently working on their 8th project together. Previous collaborations include CLEANING UP, DARK MONEY, award winning DES, the multi award winning SHERWOOD and the recent award winning THE LONG SHADOW. Other recent work includes REMATCH for HBO Europe, Alfonso Cuarón’s DISCLAIMER for Apple TV (co cast with Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockmann), Mark Williams’ SAFE HARBOR, THE KOLLECTIVE for Dutch production house Submarine, and PBS’ recent reboot of legendary French Detective MAIGRET.
