Born in San Francisco and raised in San Carlos, CA where he raced motocross and rooted for his beloved San Francisco 49ers and Giants, Vincent (VJ) Foster later moved to Los Angeles to attend UCLA where he met fellow undergrad Tim Robbins and began a decades long collaboration with the famed actor/director by going on to become a founding member and the former Associate Artistic Director of The Actors' Gang, the Los Angeles based theater ensemble they both continue to participate with. Among the long list of Actors' Gang productions he has performed in, including the long running production of 'Embedded" at New York City's Public Theater, VJ has been a cast member in a globe-spanning tour production of a world premiere adaptation of George Orwell's 1984. As a Teaching Artist with the Actors' Gang, VJ is a team member of the renowned Actors' Gang Prison Project and works with adult inmates in more than a dozen CA State Prisons in this 15 year old outreach program. In addition, VJ teaches with and was instrumental in the creation of the Actors' Gang Education Dept., bringing team building skills and creative outlets in theater and imaginative story telling to K-12 graders in the Los Angeles area. And he has been a visiting lecturer at the UCLA School of Theater, Film & Television (UCLA TFT), his alma mater. VJ's travels with the Actors' Gang include teaching workshops and performing on stages throughout the U.S. and at stops in London, Hong Kong, Buenos Aires, Madrid, Edinburgh, Athens, Melbourne, and Barcelona. His film work includes collaboration with Oscar winning directors like Steven Spielberg, Sam Mendes, Michael Mann, Warren Beatty and Clint Eastwood and he has appeared in a number of Best Picture nominated films including the Best Picture Winner, Million Dollar Baby. He has numerous guest star appearances in popular television series like American Horror Story, Cold Case, NCIS, Burn Notice, NCIS: Los Angeles, Criminal Minds among others. VJ recurred as the safe-cracking character Smitty on the long running series, The Shield. VJ is married to Lindsley Allen; the dancer, choreographer, former co-creator of The Pussycat Dolls and the creator/director of Cherry Boom Boom, the Los Angeles & Las Vegas sensation.
