- Victor J. Holchak, nicknamed Vic, was born in South Central Los Angeles, to Victor A. Holchak and Norma Jean (Philen) Holchak.
Vic graduated from Manual Arts High School in 1958. In his high school years, Vic was interested in sports and sports journalism. He became the High School Editor of the Los Angeles Herald Examiner Sports Section at 14. The Herald sent him to cover the Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia in 1956, making him the youngest journalist to ever officially cover a Summer Olympics Games for a major news outlet. CBS sent him to Rome to cover the 1960 Summer Olympics, and he also covered the Summer Olympics as a journalist in Mexico City in 1968.
After graduating high school, Vic attended Los Angeles City College (LACC). After graduating from LACC, he left for London to attend the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, England, to study acting and theatre craft. After finishing his training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Vic was hired as a member of the original acting company at the Meadow Brook Theatre in Rochester, MI. Once back in Los Angeles, Vic became a member of The Company of Angels, the very first Equity Waiver Theater company in the US where he was elected president. During that time, he produced some very good, award-winning plays such as The Angel's 1974 production of Georges Feydeau's "A Flea in Her Ear," in which he played Ferraillon.
Vic worked successfully as an actor for many years, but never gave up his true passion, sports. Vic was a lifelong track devotee who covered sports for National Public Radio, the BBC and ABC.
In the 1980's, Vic was part of the team chosen by the Los Angeles Dodgers to fly to Japan and help develop content for what came to be known as Diamond Vision, the precursor to the current DodgerVision.
Vic began covering both the summer and Winter Olympics, and The World Track and Field Championships in the early 1980's for ABC Radio Sports. After a few years he created his own syndicated radio sports show called Vic Holchak's Cavalcade of Sports. He also traveled the globe covering track and field events creating content for an immediate update call-in telephone information show which debuted in 1993.
