Vin Diesel reprises his role as Dominic Toretto in Universal Pictures' "Fast & Furious" (2009), the fourth installment of "The Fast and the Furious" film series. Vin Diesel also serves as a producer. Original cast members Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez also reprise their roles from the first film.

A native of New York City, Vin Diesel has become one of Hollywood's most sought-after film stars. Further to his huge box-office successes as an actor, Vin Diesel is a prominent producer and filmmaker. The most recent endeavor in his entrepreneurial rise is the video game company Tigon Studios, which created the popular and top selling X-Box game "The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay," based on the character Vin Diesel portrayed in the films "Pitch Black" and "The Chronicles of Riddick."

Vin Diesel was recently seen "Babylon A.D." and in the courtroom drama "Find Me Guiltly," directed by Sidney Lumet, which documents one of the most famous mob trials of the last twenty years. Vin Diesel earned critical acclaim for his portrayal of Jackie DiNorscio, the one mobster who chose to defend himself. Vin Diesel put on twenty pounds to play the 47-year-old Italian mobster.

Vin Diesel is also set to produce and play the title role in "Hannibal," which tells the story of the Carthaginian general who rode an elephant across the Alps to attack Rome in the third century B.C. In addition, Vin Diesel's One Race Productions will produce "Hannibal the Barbarian," a children's animated series.

Vin Diesel has recently signed on to his first lead in a romantic comedy, "Player's Rules," written by Ron Bass and Jen Smolka. Vin Diesel will also star in "The Wheelman," of which a video game adaptation will be released simultaneously.

Vin Diesel starred in his first comedy, "The Pacifier," opposite Faith Ford, Brad Garrett, Lauren Graham and Brittany Snow. The film, directed by Adam Shankman, follows an undercover agent, who, after failing to protect an important government scientist, learns that the scientist's family is in danger. In an effort to redeem himself, he agrees to take care of the man's children only to discover that childcare is his toughest mission yet. "The Pacifier" was a huge box office success.

In "The Chronicles of Riddick," which he also produced, Vin Diesel reprises the title role of Richard B. Riddick. Produced by Vin Diesel's company, One Race Productions, it is the follow-up to the cult favorite "Pitch Black."

Previously, Vin Diesel starred in the action-thriller, "A Man Apart," which he also produced, "The Fast and the Furious," for which he won an MTV Movie Award™, and "xXx," which he executive produced. In addition, Vin Diesel appeared in "Saving Private Ryan," for which he was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award™ as part of the film's ensemble cast. Other credits for Vin Diesel include "Boiler Room," "Knockaround Guys" and the voice of the title character in "The Iron Giant."

Vin Diesel wrote, produced, directed and starred in the independent short, "Multi-Facial," which explored the issue of being multi-racial in today's society. The film follows Vin Diesel, whose mother is Caucasian and biological father is African-American, on several auditions where he is told he is either "too black" or "too white" for the part. It was after seeing this short at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival that director Steven Spielberg created the role of Private Carpazo specifically for him in "Saving Private Ryan." In addition, Vin Diesel penned, produced, directed and starred in the full-length feature, "Strays," which he describes as a "multicultural Saturday Night Fever." The drama was selected to compete at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival.

Raised in Greenwich Village, Vin Diesel gave his first stage performance at the age of seven. After high school, Vin Diesel enrolled at Hunter College, where he majored in English with a concentration on creative writing. It was soon after that he began writing screenplays.
