Mike Vitar | Firefighter

Mike Vitar was once an American actor, and he’s appeared in a good number of films back in the 90s. Mike’s most notable acting credits include his performance as “Franklin Rodriguez” in The Sandlot and as “Luis Mendoza” in the final Mighty Ducks films. He started his career as an actor pretty young when he was just 12. A casting manager discovered him while he was in line for a ride at a school carnival.

Though Vitar was slowly on his way to establishing himself as a great actor, he called it quits and walked away from the entertainment industry back in 1997. After he retired from acting, Mike decided to become a firefighter, and he’s still a firefighter to this day. People can say that being a firefighter is way more tedious than being an actor, but we’re confident that Mike has his reasons.
