Mark Sinclair, better known by his stage name Vin Diesel, was born on 18th July 1967 in Alameda County, California, along with his fraternal twin brother, Paul Vincent. He is an American actor, producer, director and screenwriter and is most famous for his role in The Fast and the Furious movie series as Dominic Toretto. He is also well known for his portrayals Richard B. Riddick in The Chronicles of Riddick series and Xander Cage in the xXx series. He is also a producer on sequels in these franchises.
Vin Diesel has also starred in The Pacifier (2005) and Find Me Guilty (2006), and his voice-acting work includes The Iron Giant (1999), the video game spin-offs from the Chronicles of Riddick franchise, as well as Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) and its 2017 sequel. He also wrote, directed, produced and starred in a short film titled Multi-Facial and the feature-length drama film Strays and is the founder of the production companies One Race Films, Racetrack Records and Tigon Studios.
The eighth installment of the Diesel-fueled Fast and the Furious franchise became the second-highest grossing movie of 2017, topping $1.2 billion at the global box office. An estimated cut of the profit from that plus action flick “xXx: The Return of Xander Cage” boosted the action star’s bottom line, as did his check for voicing the reticent baby Groot in Marvel’s hit sequel “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.”
