Vin Diesel

Mark Sinclair Vincent studied creative writing at Hunter College in New York City, which led him to screenwriting and then to writing, directing, producing, and starring in the short Multi-Facial in 1995 and his debut feature Strays in 1997. He broke through appearing in Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan in 1998, then moved through Boiler Room and The Pacifier before locking into the role that would define him: Dominic Toretto in the Fast & Furious franchise. He built parallel action franchises in XXX and The Chronicles of Riddick, lent his voice to The Iron Giant, and became Groot across six Marvel films starting with Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014. He founded One Race Films to produce his own vehicles, started the record label Racetrack Records, and launched video game developer Tigon Studios, where he provides voice and motion capture for every release.
