Vin Diesel Acting Career:

Diesel’s first film role was a brief uncredited appearance in the 1990 film Awakenings. He then produced, directed, and starred in the 1994 short film Multi-Facial, a short semi-autobiographical film which follows a struggling actor stuck in the audition process, because he is regarded as either “too black” or “too white”, or not black or white enough. He made his first feature-length film, 1997′s Strays, an urban drama in which he was self-cast as a gang boss whose love for a woman inspires him to try to change his ways. Written, directed and produced by Diesel, the film was selected for competition at the 1997 Sundance Festival, leading to an MTV deal to turn it into a series.

He was then cast in Steven Spielberg’s 1998 Oscar-winning film Saving Private Ryan on the poignancy of his performance in Multi-Facial. In 1999 he earned critical acclaim for his voice work as the title character in the animation film The Iron Giant. He followed it up with a major role in the Business drama Boiler Room (2000) and then got his breakthrough role as the anti-hero Riddick in the science-fiction film Pitch Black (2000). He attained action hero super stardom with the box office hits, the street racing action film The Fast and the Furious (2001), leaving “Knockaround Guys” and the blockbuster “The Fast and the Furious.”

The year 2002 is the year of the consecration, with the output acrobat “xXx”, at his side Italian actress Asia Argento and the new director Rob Cohen.

On April 4, 2003 was released in the USA “A Man Apart”, the project outright first named “El Diablo”, was released in Italy on 11 July with the unimaginative title of “Solver”.

On 11 June 2004 was released in the U.S. “The Chronicles of Riddick”, the sequel to “Pitch Black”. In Italy came out on August 20.

The film was preceded the exit of a cartoon, “The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury” (available on DVD), which recounts the events that occurred between the two films.

On March 4, 2005 will be released in the U.S. film “The Pacifier”, produced by Disney. In the film, Vin is a marine who has to protect five kids from enemies of their father.

In 2006 he chose a dramatic role playing real-life mobster Jack DiNorscio in Find Me Guilty. Although he received critical acclaim for his performance, the film did poorly at the box office. Later that year he made a cameo appearance in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, reprising his role from The Fast and The Furious. Diesel was originally offered the lead in 2 Fast 2 Furious but turned it down.

He was also offered the chance to reprise his role from xXx in xXx: State of the Union but turned it down as well. In March 2006, Diesel stated that he was working on a sequel to The Chronicles of Riddick which as of 2011 is still in pre-production stages.

In 2007, he was set to produce and star as Agent 47 in the film adaptation of the video game Hitman, but eventually pulled back and served as executive producer on the film instead. In 2008 he starred in the science-fiction action thriller Babylon A.D..

He returned to the The Fast and The Furious series, alongside all the actors from the original 2001 film, in Fast & Furious, which released in April 2009. In 2011, he once again returned, for the fifth film in the series, titled Fast Five Producer.
