He appeared in literary interpreted pieces such as The Picture of Dorian Gray (1916) and the Graham Cutts-directed The White Shadow (1923).

Victor is probably best remembered for his portrayal of the circus strongman Hercules in Tod Browning's film Freaks (1932).

The role was originally considered for Victor McLaglen, with whom Browning had worked previously.

[citation needed] Victor also developed an enigmatic reputation among horror fans for being listed as “The Saxon Warrior” in the opening credits of the 1932 film The Mummy, despite not appearing in the film, as his scenes were edited out for time.

He is buried in Chatsworth, California, at the Oakwood Memorial Park Cemetery.
