Pedro Sevcec

Pedro Sevcec

Pedro Sevcec (born approx. 1950) is a television reporter who works for Telemundo in the United States. He was born in Uruguay and spent much of his life in Argentina.

Sevcec in the United States has had much success as a news reporter. He was in Kuwait for the first Gulf War, and, after three weeks of military training in Virginia, he went to Iraq to cover the newest war there. On February 17, 2004, a bomb exploded in an Iraqi school where Sevcec was filming a report about the opening of the school, with no one being injured. He also survived a shooting between guerrillas and the military in El Salvador years before.

In addition to his work as a journalist in troubled areas, he also played second string to Enrique Gratas on their tabloid news show "Ocurrió Así", until Gratas left. Sevcec took over as the show's anchorman after that, and later he became a talk show host too, "El Show de Sevcec" running for a few seasons before it got off the air.

He is an award winning journalist whose interviews with presidents and world leaders include one with George W. Bush. In September 2001, he and Brit Hume of Fox News Channel were the only two journalists to attend President Bush's first state dinner.

He was involved in the Los Angeles May Day Mêlée that took part on May 1, 2007. In video footage of the incident, Sevcec is seen running away from oncoming police officers just as his evening live broadcast was taking place. In an interview, he recounted how police were hitting women and children as they were running away. He believes that tactics used by the LAPD were excessive.
