Victoria Pollack

I love stories.

​

I am a NY-based actor, writer, and producer.

​

I honed my acting chops at Juilliard and cut my

writer-producer teeth at Law & Order: SVU under

the tutelage of showrunner Warren Leight. 

No matter what hat I'm wearing, I love being

in service to stories and seeing them come to life.
