Vinnie Velez

Vinnie Velez is an American-Born actor based out of New York who began his journey in 2016 playing the lead role in a Spanish-language short film by producer Mark Farrell (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Ben Stiller's Round Table). Coming from a law-enforcement/firefighting family originating in the lower east side projects of Manhattan, Vinnie is often drawn to edgier/gritty roles. His hot-headed, dysfunctionally lovesick portrayal of the Italian Mike Rutherford in the 2019 feature film Highlighters showcases Vinnie's ability to turn from likable every-man to frightening adversary in an instant. Velez has made appearances in many feature films and commercials since 2017. Though primarily a dramatic actor, Velez also has a strong base in Improvised Comedy, a muscle he gets to flex as lead Marcos Blanco in new workplace comedic series In Holding. Vinnie is represented by ERIS Talent Agency out of L.A. and NYC.
