Mike Vitar Biography

Michael Anthony "Mike" Vitar is a former child actor from America. He had famously appeared as Benjamin Franklin "Benny the Jet" Rodriguez in the film ‘The Sandlot’ (1993) and as Luis Mendoza in the movies ‘D2: The Mighty Ducks’ (1994) and ‘D3: The Mighty Ducks’ (1996). The 1990s was a busy decade for child actors. There were enough roles to go around and enough overeager parents to thrust their children into the turbulence of celebrityhood and the constant scrutiny that comes with it. However, only a few of these popular child actors were able to make the smooth and successful transition into celebrity adulthood. While many others just gave themselves away to alcohol and drugs, a few sought out different roads for themselves, finding happiness away from the spotlight. Vitar falls in the last category. Starting his acting career at 12 and ending it at 19, he is a fire-fighter now and a respectable member of his community in Hollywood.
