He lived in an apartment building where many artists lived, (actors, writers etc.). In an interview given to Rollingstone Magazine, he said he had a "magical childhood".
3. What is Vin Diesel's birth name?
Answer: Mark Sinclair
He was once a nightclub bouncer in New York. That is where he came up with the name Vin Diesel. Obviously Vin is just short for Vincent, which was his stepfather?s last name. When he was a kid he called his arms (biceps) the 'kryptonics' - apparently he liked Superman. I also read that at Rollingstone.com.
4. In the September 2002 issue of Rolling Stone Magazine one of Michelle Rodriguez's colleagues from "Blue Crush" claimed that "Michelle felt he was kind of a pig, grabbing at her rear end and stuff" when they filmed "The Fast and the Furious"?
Answer: True
This colleague of Michelle Rodriguez from "Blue Crush", also claims that Michelle said, "she felt like a sexual hood ornament in that film". Personally I like her character in "The Fast and the Furious".
5. What is the name of Vin Diesel's first credited movie?
Answer: Multi-Facial
Vin Diesel wrote/produced/and starred in this movie about being bi-racial (or multi-cultural as he says). It was basically about him trying to get acting jobs, but being told he wasn't 'Italian enough' or 'Black enough' for the roles (boy could I relate). Steven Spielberg saw this movie at the Cannes Film Festival in 1995. That's how Vin got the role in "Saving Private Ryan".
6. In which of these films was Vin a voice actor?
Answer: The Iron Giant
I love this movie. This movie was released in 1999. It's about a boy in a small town who finds an 'Iron Giant'. To find out more, I suggest you get the movie. It's really good.
7. "He's a janitor now at a High School. He has to ride the bus to work everyday. They banned me from the tracks for life". What movie is that from?
Answer: The Fast and the Furious
"The Fast and the Furious" was released in June of 2001.
8. In what movie did Vin play a character named Richard B. Riddick?
Answer: Pitch Black
I liked "Pitch Black". That movie was really good. The best thing about that movie, was the fact that you only got a glimpse of the creature, therefore making the movie more suspenseful.
9. In what order were these Vin Diesel's movies released?
Answer: Multi-Facial, Strays, Saving Private Ryan, The Iron Giant, Pitch Black, Boiler Room,The Fast and the Furious, Knockaround Guys and xXx.
This is the correct order; "Multi-Facial" (1994), "Strays" (1997), "Saving Private Ryan" (1998), "The Iron Giant" (1999), "Pitch Black" (2000), "Boiler Room" (2000), "The Fast and the Furious" (2001), "Knockaround Guys" (2001), and "xXx" (2002).
10. I've decided not to include a question about Vin's race, because to a true fan it doesn't matter. Talent is talent. However, I did think this would be an interesting question: What kind of dog does he have?
Answer: Italian Mastiff
He has an Italian Mastiff (male), named Roman. I hoped you enjoyed this quiz as much as I did creating it. I could have made this quiz longer for you, but I thought to myself "Nah, Let's not do that".
