A native of Rome, Victor was raised as an only child by his mother and grandmother, spending summers working in the family's restaurant. Using his natural gift for writing, the self-described "class clown" created his own sketch comedy act to entertain friends. "My idols were Jerry Lewis and Robin Williams," says Alfieri. "Everyone always thought I was a little crazy."
Striking good looks and charm led Victor into the modeling world at age 18. An unfortunate accident, however, scarred his face ending this short-lived career. He turned to the theater until he was drafted for military service. Eager to learn something new while in the army, he decided to join the police force. For two years, Victor worked as a cop in Italy. However, for the last two months of his stint, he went undercover on the island of Sardegna, near Sicily.
Enthusiastic and determined to start a career in Hollywood, Victor packed his bags and moved to Los Angeles in 1994, leaving behind his loved ones in Italy. Victor's greatest challenge would then become learning the English language.
With confidence in his newfound language and a sexy accent, Victor soon became an actor landing guest spots on the sitcoms Ned & Stacey, High Society and the series Murder, She Wrote. He also appeared in the telefilms Suddenly, opposite Kirstie Alley, and Sweet Temptation, with Beverly D'Angelo and Rob Estes. Soon after, he won the role of Franco Kelly, a half-Italian/half-Irish bad guy daytime audiences learned to love on Days of Our Lives.
Since his departure from Days of Our Lives, Victor has appeared in Stone Walls at the Coronet Theater with Kathleen Noone and in the independent film, Dirty Down Under...Up Here opposite Richard T. Jones and Robert Floyd. In addition, he took time off from acting to finish writing his first treatment for a movie, about a young man immigrating to the United States.
When not on the set of The Bold and the Beautiful, Victor enjoys racing motorcycles and cars. Above all however, Victor enjoys entertaining people and hearing people laugh and would like to continue pursuing work in comedy.
Victor celebrates his birthday on July 30. He is 6' with brown hair and green eyes.
