- Vincent “Rocco” Vargas is a special operations combat veteran, former Homeland Security Federal Agent with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, actor, writer, and producer.
After serving in the 2nd Ranger Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, Vincent became a Federal Agent with the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Customs and Border Protection - the Border Patrol - where he worked extensively on the United States-Mexico border, serving as a medic with the Special Operations Group.
After his time in the military, Vincent experienced severe PTSD. In an effort to help other veterans, Vincent founded Beteran, an apparel company where 50% of all proceeds go toward helping veterans seek treatment for trauma and transition back to civilian life.
As an actor, Vincent is known for his role as “Gilly” on Mayans MC, as well as in films including Range 15, Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace, and Dark of Light. Vincent is also the Head of Marketing at the security services firm The North Group.
His new book, Borderline: Defending the Home Front, will be released in November.

Danger Close is an IRONCLAD Original
Vincent "Rocco" Vargas is great, I had him on my podcast the "BALD TRUTH" and he rocks it from on-set while filming Myans episodes. A true servant leader and badass with a genuine giving heart. Thanks for having him on Danger Close Jack!
Vincent is a patriot, class act and talented dude!
Can't wait to see him act in the Terminal List series
Love Rocco, thanks for this Jack. The book is pre-ordered!!🇺🇸
What title again defo ordering it asap
Loved him with Mat Best in 'Bitch I Operate'
I've known about Rocco since the Mbest11x/Drinkin Bros days.
I would not be alive if not for his podcasts back in the day.
Thank you, Jack, for bringing him into more lives.
The HK P2000 probably had HK's Law Enforcement Modification (LEM) trigger. Very light double-action length take-up, with a 5-6lb break at the end.
I knew I recognized his voice, I remember watching those Article15 vids back in the day on YT. Good stuff!
Great as always plus Rocco amazing
He defo had an awesome life hard but hopefully rewarding
Great interview. Rocco was not on my radar prior to this, so thanks for that, Jack.
He amazing what he does for veterans is incredible & I’m a English civilian
Another great insightful interview.
Not even half way through yet. Good stuff man.
(Boy Varga has a lot of rolodex's!)
Roco! The Crimson Chin!
Awesome yo seee roco in this podcast…Nick Lavery would be awesome to have here also
Awesome human, awesome American!
Spot on!👊🏻🇺🇸👊🏻
Hi Jack. Pre ordered your book. Good podcast.
Bought it, impatiently waiting!!! Great interview man very interesting!
BP shotgun is a Remington 870 with a pistol grip.
I first started watching him with Matt Best back during the Article 15 days.
I would love to hear more of his story! I found out about Rocco when mat best was making music haha
Damnnnn that’s crazy. I had no idea Carlos Vargas was his father. That’s cool
Niiiiiiice!
ROCCOOOOOO!
Bro! Vince I was in 2/58IN F for basic training lol that's crazy the first time I have heard I was in 2011 in benning
I was 2/58 d co 3rd plt haha. Went on to 2-3inf regt fort benning before it was jblm. Always cool to hear from people from our unit
Wait a second… Vincent, your dad’s name is not Paco, right? Sounds a lot like the vato loco character played by Ben Brad in Bound by Blood.
I live in Lehi. Any local booksellers carrying it?
I have a child in Kentucky, so I ran away
BORTAC can't track dude.
Get different writers/directors for Terminal List, it kind of sucked and could have been a great series. Give Jack 100% control over the studio. Needs more Rambo First Blood vibes not modern Dad's soap opera vibes.
BORING, Boring, boring.
Awesome 😍 Call Vivek Jacob,Indian Special Forces.@jackcarr
