Victor Rasuk (born January 15, 1984) is an American actor.

Rasuk was born in Harlem, New York of Dominican descent.

[ [http://www.jewishjournal.com/home/preview.php?id=10399 JewishJournal.com ] ] Rasuk attended performing arts school as a teenager, and began acting at 14. He garnered his first movie role at 16 in "Five Feet High and Rising." The film -- less than 30 minutes long -- was a hit at the Independent Spirit Film Festival. Two years later, the same director, Peter Sollett, suggested expanding the short film into a feature-length movie: "Raising Victor Vargas," which went on to win Rasuk an Independent Spirit Award for his work. In his next film, "Rock Steady", Rasuk played a character named Roc. Two years later, he took a leading role in "Haven" with Orlando Bloom.

In 2005, "Lords of Dogtown" was released, with Victor playing Tony Alva, one of the leading roles. The part included surfing and performing skateboarding tricks. Although the more complicated maneuvers were performed by stunt men (including the scenes of surfing at Pacific Ocean Park pier and skating in empty swimming pools), Rasuk is a method actor and worked on remaining in character both on and off screen. Believing he had mastered skating a huge ramp in only his second week of training, Rasuk fractured one of his orbital bones. [http://www.hollywood.com/features/t1/nav/5/id/2441116] Rasuk says the accident likely earned him more respect from amongst serious skaters within the cast and crew.

He has a number of upcoming films in production.
