Assuming you aren't kidding - check out the Movies Pitch Black, xXx (triple-x), and Fast and the Furious. He really hasn't starred in anything substantive yet, but he's an "up-and-coming" property in hollywood, the same way George Clooney was about 5 years ago.

Oh, and I kinda missed his appearance in "Saving Private Ryan..."

I see him in the Bruce Willis mode, Clooney was hyped too much, Bruce just appeared.

Pitch Black was his break out role, but Fast and the Furious leaped him into the limelight (not a bad movie, surprised me). It is said that he works well with everyone (no attitude yet). xXx looks to be one of those fast action trillfest.

FaF sucked harsh. I will be brutally honest. It was nothing but a hyped up Import Riceflick. Hondas and Toyotas screaming down the highway at breakneck speeds. Lousy acting, allright effects, but horrible horrible movie...blah!

Also...

Diesel also did the voice of the robot in Iron Giant, arguably his best role to date.

Regarding the "news" item itself, my first reaction to reading the notice on the front page was "So?"

Did not say it was a good movie just not a bad one, which I was surprised by.

I'd rather see him as a barbarian, covered in clan tattoos and/or brands and wailing away with a greataxe.

I'd also LOVE to see him play Ben Grimm/Thing in a Fantastic Four movie.

Maybe he plays Drizt's Barbarian friend and Stipes plays Drizt.

I don't know where you people live, but round where I live, Vin Diesel is big, he's no where near up and coming, since fast and the Furious, he's been the most bad*** action guy around. And with xXx coming out, that just makes him 3x better.

He also stared in Boiler Room, which i think was his first movie. With Mr Ribisi(sp)? <---- Fibi's brother on friends. It is a very very good movie.

Pitch Black was really good.

It was the first movie I aw with Diesel playing a majr role in it.

-Spoiler-

His ability to carry that movie was amazing. I really liked the character. Being the "bad" guy though, I figured him for dead.

My exact words while at the movie -> "If that dude gets killed, I swear I'll walk out."

I was pleasently surprised.

Really cool that he is such a D&D junky.

So I guess this means Half-Orcs are balanced with the other races now. New revision stating right after the "Orcish Blood" trait:

Celebrity Status - Half-Orcs are played by movie personalities such as Vin Diesel: +2 competence bonus to perform and sounding like you gargled razor blades in the morning.

I don't agree. I thought the Fast & the Furious was very good. Given the subject matter I am curious what you expected of the movie? It is certainly the best of any contemporary 'Car' movie I can think of and better than many classics as well.

Agreed.

Not only is he a good actor, but he has both a screen presence and a physical presence.

Certainly set to be one of the biggest Hollywood stars over the next decade and beyond. Can easily carry action or non-action roles.

I'm certainly looking forward to xXx.

The fact that he plays D&D is just the icing on the cake here - hopefully we will get to see him wielding a sword on screen at some point.

Vin Diesel plays D&D
