Vin Diesel is attempting to salvage his nose-diving career just before it hits the ground and is clearly so desperate for work that he'll do anything, even signing up for 'The Fast And The Furious 4'. Now there are rumours that he will play the Terminator in 'Terminator 4 : It Can't Be As Bad As The Last One, Surely?'.

Following the success of Saving Private Ryan, Diesel could be heard voicing the title character of the animated The Iron Giant (1999), another critically praised feature. He then starred with fellow young actors Giovanni Ribisi, Ben Affleck, Jamie Kennedy, and Nicky Katt in Boiler Room, an off-Wall Street drama that cast him as one of the members of a shady brokerage firm. He ... flexed his sci-fi muscles in Pitch Black (2000), an interplanetary thriller that featured him and fellow Earthlings doing battle with a host of nasty alien mutants. Diesel jumped genres yet again as a devious, determined hot-rodder in The Fast and the Furious (2001), a cheeky, action-packed street racing picture in the vein of '50s exploitation flicks. The low-profile, star-free summer release left skid marks at the box office as it grossed over $40 million dollars in its first weekend alone -- more than enough to cover its production costs, and enough to lead many to believe that Diesel had finally arrived as a bankable leading man.

The 1993 Toyota Supra piloted by ersatz action hero Vin Diesel in The Fast and the Furious is on auction and the price has risen to $99,300 as of press time Thursday evening. The auction, underway at www.onlineauction.com, listed the Supra earlier this week. The vehicle is being auctioned by its current owner, Gary A. Sigel, who tracked the car down along with his thirteen-year-old son in a Midwestern salvage yard, according to a release. The car originally had been bought in stock condition from a dealership by Hollywood car specialist Eddie Paul and modified for the film and for the non-Diesel sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious. Paul has helped restore the car for the auction, which ends on June 5.

Diesel had his attentions focused on an array of projects at any given time. After he'd finished shooting Knockaround Guys, starring John Malkovich and Dennis Hopper, and the action thriller The Fast and the Furious, he was in production on Diablo. In addition to his film work, he ... was writing Doormen, a script based on his days as a bouncer. Whether writing, directing, producing, or acting, Diesel has hoped to create, as he told Madison, "something of importance and made some logic out of all of this outrageous good fortune."

Diesel was originally offered the lead in 2 Fast, 2 Furious but turned it down. He did reprise his The Fast and the Furious role as Dominic Toretto... in a cameo at the end of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006). He was also due to produce and star as Agent 47 in the video game adaptation of Hitman but eventually left the project.
