Victoria Vertuga

Victoria Vertuga is a Los Angeles based actress/writer/producer/model/lover of slashes with a contagious energy and passion for creating. A California girl born & raised, she attended the University of Southern California where she graduated magna cum laude, proving she’s more than just another pretty face.
Victoria has always had a great appreciation of the arts and an intense love of the stage. Growing up, her family used to put on talent shows every summer where her eccentric- yet very talented- extended family would sing, dance, play instruments, and do full blown productions of plays. In high school she began acting and dancing in school productions. While attending USC, she began acting in student films and commercials.
After college, she took that long held love of performing and began pursuing a professional career as an actress. In 2013 she began her television career on the long running soap opera “Days of Our Lives” and the hit Showtime series “Dexter." She has filmed commercials for brands such as Budweiser, Toyota, Gap, Valley View Casino, and many more. As a model, she’s been featured in everything from FHM Magazine to charity pin up calendars to major commercial print ads to coffee table books and art galleries across the country and abroad.
In 2018, she co-wrote and co-produced her first half hour dark comedy pilot entitled "Tithes" with her partner Eric Williford. They have recently finished penning the entire 8 episode first season, and are currently working on a short and two additional pilots.
Victoria is a huge animal lover, a proud dog mom to three rescue pitbulls, and enjoys doing volunteer work with Best Friend’s Animal Society and NKLA. She’s also a self proclaimed foodie, which she credits to coming from a long line of fantastic Italian cooks; and an avid lover of traveling.
