VIN DIESEL Just Played D&D

Back in July, actor Vin Diesel got an awesome D&D birthday cake. Last night he posted a video where he talks about his recent game of Dungeons & Dragons with the folks at The Nerdist. I don't know if the game was filmed, or if we'll ever get to see it, but even so it's great to hear that Vin had such a good time. He's starring in the movieThe Last Witchhunter (out this month), and he played a homebrew Witchhunter class in this game. In fact, director Corey Goodman said he was largely influenced by talks with Vin Diesel, specifically about his Dungeons & Dragons witch hunter character, going so far as to say "If it weren't for Vin Diesel's 'Dungeons & Dragons' character, 'The Last Witch Hunter' wouldn't exist."

I am at Nerdist and I just played a game of Dungeons & Dragons. I haven't played in so long, and it's so much fun, and the DM Matt Mercer was so cool - we had some people from Critical Role. We're here at The Nerdist. We played in conjunction to the release of The Last Witchhunter. This is so cool! OK, these are the people I played with. Watch this!

Yup! Guys, this was so much fun. Guys, these are the wonderful people that I played Dungeons & Dragons with and our DM Matt Mercer who really, really, really kicked ass. We've had Travis, we got Jessica, we just really knocked it out the part, all of us together. Dan was in there. I played a Witch Hunter, and I've gotta give credit to Matt Mercer who came up with the Wich Hunter class for today's campaign, customized it, pulled in a couple of Warlock spells, modified them for me a little bit, and we had a real blast! And I just want you guys to tell the whole world that I'm capable of rolling a couple of criticals!

Oh my god, it was so cool, and we did it together, and we did it as a team, and we really believe in each other, and we had so much.... guys, you know me, I had so much fun playing Dungeons & Dragons! [Puts on funny voice] I mean, it's been so long, and I work so hard, and I need more time for myself, and we all had great voices, too, and that's a wrap on Vinnie!

Guys, I had so much fun playing with you all. I'm gonna do it again. We're doing more. I'm joining in. I'm not kidding! I finally found my home, I've got Dungeons & Dragons players in LA! Yeah!"

The boys are pretty as well. Perhaps prettier than at most games. I think to work in the film/entertainment industry it helps to have a high charisma?
The girls in shot are players in critical role and are wives and girlfriends of some of the other players.
They're also voice actors in their own right. Laura Bailey has done numerous voices, most notably (for me) Kira Carsen in Star Wars: The Old Republic, the leader of the Saints in Saints Row 3 and 4 (at least) and Jaina Proudmoore in WoW. Marisha Ray hosts the Super Power Beat Down shorts on Youtube and did some voices in the Persona games, which I never played.

Oh, sure, Laura's married to Travis Willingham and Marisha's dating Matthew Mercer. But they also do their own stuff. I actually heard of Laura before any of the others, except maybe Matt. I just didn't know his name yet.

She's also the voice of Blood Rayne.

I've followed his movie career, and known he was a DnD player for a few years because of it. He's talked about playing DnD before when talking about other movies. If you ever spot him with tattoos in a movie, take a close look at them; at least one will be DnD-inspired.
