Victor Verhaeghe came to New York from Flint Michigan a long time ago. He studied at James Price's Acting Studio and drank beer. For those first few years, Victor performed in many bad to mediocre plays that maybe eight or nine people saw. He started doing Stand-Up comedy in the early 90's, but stopped just before getting too good at it. He then launched his storied sketch comedy career, which he still clings to, even today. He formed his first group, a duet, with comedy partner Nadya Ginsberg. They called themselves, "Verhaeghe & Ginsberg". Victor wrote and performed material for their special on Comedy Central. He also wrote the material for their award-winning run as lifetime winners of "The One-Minute Play Contest". He wrote the show, "Brooklyn by the Slice" for the First Annual New York International Fringe Festival, and also wrote their show, "Naked and not Ashamed" for the Triad Theater and Synchronicity Space. Moving on to solo work in the mid 90's, Victor wrote and starred in "The Women of James Bond", for The Second Annual New York International Fringe Festival, and began working with his next sketch group, "The Rumble in the Red Room". At the same time, he was an original member of "Central Fungus", the sketch group that performed regularly at Catch a Rising Star. Then came stints with the brilliant, though misunderstood Sketch group, "Euphobia". In the mid to late 90's, he began working steadily in commercials and voice-overs and began getting work in episodic television, with appearances on Law & Order, Third Watch and Spin City. At the turn of the century, Victor wrote and performed his epic one-man show, HOUSEHEAD, first at the Mint Theater, followed up by runs at The Manhattan Theater Source and HERE. He then took the show to Los Angeles. He stayed in Los Angeles for six months and prefers not to talk about it. Upon his return to New York, he picked up where he left off in the voice over and commercial world. In 2003, Victor and his writing partner, Brian O'Neill wrote and produced a feature film, "H.O.L.E. ñ The Disillusionment of Mike and Eva". Victor starred as Mike, and the film went on to a decent run of film festivals throughout the country. He next wrote, produced and starred in the darkly comic short film, "The Doctor Cares" in 2004. This film also got some attention on the festival circuit and made several people nauseous at the Flint Film Festival in Flint, Michigan, Victor's hometown. In 2005, Victor wrote his first full-length musical production, "The Great Official Subway Musical", that was produced for the Ninth Annual New York International Fringe Festival. So that's three shows in the Fringe Festival in nine years. Not that anyone is counting. In 2007 he played the role of Pale in Ground-Up's production of "Burn This". He has finished writing another play, "The Doorman", and began work on another one-man show, "The Most Important Show Ever Written". And it will be, once it is finished. He is currently writing, producing and starring in the Web Series, COP-DOC, for mDialog.com. Eight episodes have been completed and the remaining three are being shot as we speak. Look for the full on launch of COP-DOC in late August, early September 2008
