Read through Damian Vega’s reviews from his myriad of roles throughout his acting career.
MERCURY NEWS: Game’s Afoot
“The opening moments of the play allow for Gillette (Damian Vega) to show his acting skills in a melodramatic moment as he brings home the finality of a play within the play…Vega approaches his William with a suffocating hue within the walls of wealth and status. His delight lies as one who prances all over the stage, clearly performing for those so consumed with themselves they don’t even notice.”

MERCURY NEWS: The Hollow
“Characters deftly maneuver through the spacious dwelling, each inhabitant highly skilled in the art of narcissism...Vega’s slick, silver hair and smarmy charm as Doctor Cristow puts him in the crosshairs of those wronged by his Lothario ways.”

“Damian Vega is amusingly oblivious and overstated as She’s onstage husband and understated and touchingly tolerant as her actual hubby. ”

“There are no easy answers that are offered, and in the hands of this tight cast, it’s what makes the drama so profound...an effectively calm and brooding performance by Damian Vega.”

MERCURY NEWS: Circle Mirror Transformation
“The five actors in this production are consistently first-rate. Each gives a crystal-clear picture of who their character is, their problems, their needs, their fears...Marty’s husband James, who seems as if he’s flailing around trying to find something — or someone — to hold onto (solid Damian Vega).”

“Vega is certainly maddeningly likable in his earnest portrayal of Andy. He is also completely empathetic, a great guy who certainly deserves better.”

"As Marc, Damian Vega has a touch of the young Marlon Brando, with deep-set eyes, muscular build, and easy posture. He's got an earthy sex appeal, he nobody's fool, and he calls them as he sees them."
