Vin Diesel
Born July 18, 1967 - New York, New York
Perhaps the American new version of 007 (seen best in the film XXX), this strong actor grew up in New York City. He became a bouncer and changed his name at that point to Vin Diesel, then got parts in various projects until he caught the eye of Steven Spielberg and was cast in Saving Private Ryan.
He is best known, however, as Riddick from Pitch Black and the Chronicles of Riddick. He co-partners a production company with George Zakk called One Race Productions, and is a Dungeons and Dragons fan and player of more than 20 years.
Personal Quote: "I am definitely a person of color." (of which he will say no more)
