[QUOTE="Wolfen Priest, post: 284895, member: 3909"] I will voice up and say that I'm happy that Vin Deisel plays D&D, like anyone else who plays should be, but up until now, I was pretty indifferent about him. He was interviewed by some local DJ's on the radio a few months ago in my town, and he seemed very down to earth and likable. I'll even go so far as to say I thought FaF looked halfway decent (although not good enough for me to have actually seen it). But the trailer for xXx almost made me cringe. Frankly, I think some porn stars probably [i]could[/i] do a better acting job, for all I can tell from his stupid one-line in that trailer. I'm sorry, but the scene with him on ski's did not win me over to the camp that "Vin is a good actor." Sorry. The fact that he plays D&D is great. But I for one am not wetting my pants about it, nor do I really think it entitles him to make a great movie related to D&D. Probably all it will do is get a few more players to accept D&D as "non-geeky," which I think is already happening anyway. I've said before, and I'll reiterate that I don't think young people taking up PnP RPG's fit the dorky stereotype they once did. In fact, the biggest dork I ever knew said he thought D&D was "nerdy." Most "cool" people don't look at it that way anymore, IMHO. Look at Vin. A great actor he is not, but a cool guy, he surely must be. [/QUOTE]
