Diesel dropped out of college to make his first film, called Multi-Facial. He wrote, directed, produced, and starred in the film, a short about a struggling actor who would portray any race to get a part. Madison writer David Kirby called the film, which Diesel made for about $3,000 and shot in two-and-a-half days, "moving and hilarious." The film was accepted and screened at the Cannes Film Festival, in Cannes, France, in 1995. Diesel ... wrote, directed, produced, and starred in a full-length film called Strays. He and a friend raised the $50,000 it took to make the film working as telemarketers.

Being that Diesel is into D&D, the first part of the interview takes place at the Wizards of the Coast hobby shop at the Beverly Center mall in Los Angeles. Author John Brodie writes, "the movie star strolled into a Wizards of the Coast hobby shop [and] started reading a spell-casting manual." Brodie ... notes that Diesel started playing D&D when he was twelve, when a friend's mother started Sunday-night games and he was invited to attend.
