BIOGRAPHY
Mark Sinclair was born on July 18, 1967 in Alameda County, California, USA.

The stepson of a theater teacher, Vin Diesel sparked his interest in the world of cinema when he was just a child. He began working on some plays with his stepfather. Thanks to his imposing physique, he begins working as a guard in a department store, although he soon ends up concentrating solely on his film career.

In 1994 he made the important decision to direct, produce and star in the short film Multi-Facial and a little later, in 1997, he entered the world of feature films with Strays . In 1998 he was hired by Steven Spielberg to play a role in the well-known film Saving Private Ryan , where he shared credits with the renowned actor Tom Hanks and with which he officially began his career in Hollywood cinema. .

He continues in films such as The Iron Giant (1999), Deadly Eclipse (2000) and xXx (2002). However, it was in 2001 when he managed to attract the spotlight thanks to the leading role in Fast and Furious, which was a success at the box office and, eventually, became a saga. The film now has eight films – as of 2017 – all starring Diesel.

Although his physique could pigeonhole him into roles of tough men in action films, Diesel has tried his luck in youth films, achieving a good reception with Bulletproof Babysitter, a 2005 Walt Disney Pictures production.
