Little Known Spaghetti Western actors ~ Vic Browder

[These daily posts will cover little known actors or people that have appeared in more recent films and TV series. Various degrees of information that I was able to find will be given and anything that you can add would be appreciated.]

 Victor Raymond Browder was born in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 19, 1972. He was poor and sometimes homeless while his mother struggled to keep her six children safe and healthy. It was his early introduction to local theatre that gave him a place to escape the drugs, crime and poverty that surrounded his youth. The creative arts became his sanctuary for self-expression and emotional support. At a young age, Vic came to the realization that he wanted a life in the performing arts. His passion led to college at Southern Utah University and the Utah Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City, Utah and then to Florida State University's Asolo Conservatory in Sarasota for his MFA. WIth his master’s degree, Browder headed back to the Southwest and eventually landed in Albuquerque. After a while Browder felt constrained by limited opportunities for actors so he planned a move to Chicago for their flourishing theatre community. Luckily, he met a few New Mexico folks that talked him into staying for the film opportunities that were about to explode. A dynamic, bold, truthfully courageous and dedicated actor, Browder is known for “Sicario”, “Waco”, “The Magnificent Seven”, “Godless”, “Succession” and over 100 other film and TV projects. He's worked with Liam Neeson, Ethan Hawke, Idris Elba, Peter Sarsgaard, David Strathairn, Michael Shannon and Cuba Gooding.

In 2007 Browder became a founding member of the professional "Mother Road Theatre Company" where he acts, directs, designs, builds and produces some of the best theatre in the Southwest.

Browder has also written two short films and was a casting director for a 2013 short film called “Looks Like Christmas”.

Browder has appeared in three Euo-westerns: “Doc West” and “Triggerman” as a blacksmith both in 2008 and as Phil in 2025’s “Eddington”.
