Vin Diesel is one of the world\u2019s most successful film actors, thanks to his role as Dominic Toretto in the massive Fast & the Furious film franchise. Vin Diesel is also a producer. His real name is Mark Sinclair.<\/p>\n
When Vin Diesel first tried to get film roles at the start of the 90s, he had trouble being cast so instead made his own film in 1995, writing, directing, producing, and starring in Multi-Facial, a short. Two year later, he starred in Strays, which was feature length and he again wrote, directed, and produced himself.<\/p>\n
Thanks to Steven Spielberg being impressed with Multi-Facial, he cast Vin Diesel in Saving Private Ryan, after which point he played the voice of The Iron Giant in the 1999 film and became an action star thanks to The Chronicles of Riddick films, XXX, and the aforementioned Fast & the Furious.<\/p>\n
Vin Diesel is also known for his role as Groot in various Marvel Cinematic Universe films including Guardians of the Galaxy, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and Thor: Love and Thunder, as well as for roles such as in The Pacifier, Find Me Guilty, and Bloodshot.<\/p>\n
Vin Diesel also founded One Race Films, Racetrack Records, and Tigon Studios, a video game production company.<\/p>\n

In 1990, Vin Diesel had his first appearance on screen in a small, uncredited role in the Robin Williams starring drama Awakenings. Besides that modest gig, Vin Diesel had a lot of trouble getting acting roles, so he instead made an indie short film himself in hopes of it helping him fund a feature.<\/p>\n
To that end, Vin Diesel wrote, directed, and produced, as well as starred in a short called Multi-Facial. It was a semi autobiographical work about a multiracial actor struggling to get cast in Hollywood. Multi-Facial was screened at the Cannes Festival in 1995.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the film\u2019s success, Vin Diesel got the funds he needed to make Strays, his debut feature length film, which he again, wrote and directed as well as produced and starred in. In it, Vin Diesel played the leader of a gang who tries to turn his life around after falling in love. The 1997 Sundance Festival chose it for their competition.<\/p>\n
Off the back of this, MTV signed a deal with him to turn the film into a television series. This never ended up happening, but Steven Spielberg had seen and been extremely impressed with Multi-Facial. Because of it, Spielberg cast Vin Diesel in his 1998 WWII epic Saving Private Ryan, which was Vin Diesel\u2019s first big Hollywood part.<\/p>\n
Next up, Vin Diesel voiced the eponymous The Iron Giant in the classic animated feature from 1999. The next year, he appeared in the drama Boiler Room with Ben Affleck and Giovanni Ribisi before finally landing his first big breakout role: Riddick in the sci-fi action thriller Pitch Black.<\/p>\n
In 2001, Vin Diesel had two others career defining roles in 2001\u2019s The Fast and the Furious, and 2002\u2019s XXX. In 2003, he sat out the sequel to the former, 2 Fast 2 Furious, and in 2005, the sequel to the latter, XXX: State of the Union, in favor of returning as Riddick for The Chronicles of Riddick, a labor of love despite poor box office returns.<\/p>\n
Vin Diesel returned to playing Riddick yet again in two video games and an anime called The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury. He then changed tacks in 2005, playing a lighthearted part in the hit comedy The Pacifier, and then appeared in 2006\u2019s Find Me Guilty as a real-life mobster named Jack DiNorscio.<\/p>\n
That year, he also returned to The Fast and the Furious in the film The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, albeit only in a cameo.<\/p>\n
In 2007, Vin Diesel executive produced the film Agent 47 based on a hit video game called Hitman. In 2008, Vin Diesel starred in Babylon A.D., another flop for him.<\/p>\n
But in 2009, he returned to The Fast and the Furious in a full capacity, reuniting with most of the original cast in Fast & Furious. He then returned for the next five films in the franchise: 2011\u2019s Fast Five, 2013\u2019s Fast & Furious 6, 2015\u2019s Furious 7, 2017\u2019s The Fate of the Furious, and 2021\u2019s F9.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in 2013, Vin Diesel brought Riddick back for a new installment of the series just called Riddick. That year, he also got a Hollywood Walk of Fame star. The next year, Vin Diesel appeared in the first Guardians of the Galaxy film as the voice of the sentient alien tree, Groot.<\/p>\n
In 2015, Vin Diesel starred in The Last Witch Hunter, and in 2016, Vin Diesel appeared in Billy Lynn\u2019s Halftime Walk, a war drama directed by Ang Lee.<\/p>\n
In 2017, Vin Diesel came back to the XXX franchise with XXX: Return of Xander Cage, and reprised Groot for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. In 2018, he again appeared as Groot in Avengers: Infinity War, and then in 2019\u2019s Avengers: Endgame.<\/p>\n
