Vin Diesel finally does a decent film. This isn't a laugh out loud comedy but it is a pleasant experience that will give you a few chuckles. Worth a matinee ticket. [More]

Vin Diesel's first film was a short about an actor who would portray a character of any race, just to get a part. In real life, Diesel would never divulge his ethic background, but played Italian, Jewish, Latino, and black in his films. That chameleon capability propelled Diesel, who was careful about the roles he chose, to the attention of high-profile director Steven Spielberg, who tailored a role in his World War II drama Saving Private Ryan specially for the unknown actor. Diesel went on to draw strong reviews in films such as Strays, The Iron Giant, Pitch Black, and Boiler Room, and to form his own production company, One Race Productions, named for, as he said in Madison, "the important and relevant race"--the human race.

Diesel had a birthday on July 18, along with his non-identical twin, Paul, a film editor. His mother is an astrologer/psychologist, but she never did his horoscope. "She said she was too close to me to do an unbiased chart." But he had access to her books and reveals he's not just a Cancer, but one with Scorpio rising and a Sagittarius moon.

Diesel did make a cameo appearance at the end of "Tokyo Drift," which went over so well with audiences that it was even mentioned in ads. The film's director, Justin Lin, will return to helm the fourth installment.
