Actor and producer Vin Diesel (real name Mark Sinclair) was born 55 years ago in California, USA, is in a relationship and has 3 children.
At the age of 7, Vin took part in a children’s play in a New York theatre and continued performing in stage productions when he was in his teens. He then went to college where he studied creative writing and eventually screenwriting.
In 1990, he had a minor, unacknowledged role in the movie ‘Awakenings’ and in the following 4 years he had a hard time to obtain a part. So, he thought of writing, producing, directing and act, first in a short film named ‘Multi-facial’ and then in a ‘normal’ length film, but although they competed in 2 different film festivals, they both failed.
Vin’s luck changed in 1998, when he casted in the movie ‘Saving Private Ryan’. This was his first major debut in Hollywood. In the year 2000, Vin starred in 2 movies, one as a supporting actor and the other as a leading one. But real stardom peaked in the following 2 years with ‘The Fast & the Furious’ and ‘XXX’, with Diesel becoming an action hero.
In the last 2 decades, Vin starred in over 20 films and is expected to perform in another 5 movies in the next 2 years. He also ‘gave’ his voice in several TV productions. In 2020, since filming had to stop in view of the pandemic, he turned to music and released 2 singles named ‘Feel like I do’ and ‘Days are Gone’.
