Victor Alfieri (born July 30, 1971 Rome, Lazio, Italy) is an American actor and writer, born in Italy and raised in the U.S.
At the age of 18, a photographer invited him to do an advertising shoot and soon he graced the covers of several Italian magazines, known as fotoromanzi. His modeling career was cut short, when during an encounter with three muggers his face was scarred by injuries requiring more than 56 stitches.
In 1991, Alfieri turned from modeling to join the Italian Police Force. He quit the force after two and a half years of service and, determined to start a career in Hollywood, Alfieri packed his bags and moved to Los Angeles, to the disbelief of his relatives back in Italy.
Since leaving daytime television, Alfieri has appeared in American and international productions. He drew international attention for playing the handsome sensitive gigolo in The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone (2003) (TV) opposite Helen Mirren and Anne Bancroft.
Internationally, Alfieri completed two high-profile European productions back-to-back. He played the lead role of Darius, the gladiator, in Pompei, ieri, oggi, domani (2007) (mini) an epic love story produced by DeAngelis Productions. Prior to that, he starred in the mini-series entitled Elisa di Rivombrosa (2003), a period piece based on the novel Pamela written by Samuel Richardson. Alfieri plays a sword-wielding assassin named Zanni La Morte.
