'Going Hollywood'. It's a phrase that's all too familiar to Vince 'Rocco' Vargas - a veteran turned actor, Vinny's appeared in FX's Mayans M.C. along with a handful of features that have had a surprisingly large impact online. He's also a former Army Ranger, prison guard, drill sergeant, and BORSTAR agent, and nowadays he's an author, podcast host, father, and husband.From afar, it might seem like Vince has had an easy go of things, but that's far from the truth. Struggles in schooling and a fiery need to paddle his own canoe led to military service, but what followed is a whole other ball of wax. Here's Rocco's side of the story.----------Chapters:00:00 - Intro02:20 - Playing Gilly in Mayans M.C.09:08 - The Threat of AI16:11 - Gang Wars20:49 - Going Into the Rangers28:17 - Losing Faith in Iraq35:26 - A Dangerous Daylight Op44:37 - Losing Friends52:56 - Stories from Prison01:06:04- Reforming the Prison System01:14:39 - Going to the Border----------Support Vince Rocco Vargas -Book: Borderline: Defending the Homefront Book - https://www.theborderlinebook.comLight The Fuse Mental Health & Wellness - https://ltfmentorship.comThe Vinny Roc Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-vinnyroc-podcast/id1284060556YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/VincentRoccoVargas275Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/vincent.rocco.vargas----------Sponsors: MUD/WTRGo to https://www.mudwtr.com/mike to get your free frother and samples and support the show! ----------American Hartford GoldVisit https://www.americanhartfordgold.com or call 855-967-1413, that’s 855-967-1413, or text “DROP” to 6-5-5-3-2.----------FabricJoin the thousands of parents who trust Fabric to protect their family.
