Vin Diesel – Real Name: Mark Sinclair
Vin Diesel is an actor and producer best known for his action movies, most notably the ‘Fast and Furious” franchise, in which he portrayed flamboyant street racer Dominic Toretto. Diesel received his big break when cast in the award-winning film “Saving Private Ryan” by director Steven Spielberg.
His birth name was Mark Sinclair, but he adopted Vin Diesel long before becoming an actor. He took on the pseudonym when he felt he needed a tougher-sounding name as a teen working as a bouncer in New York City. He reprised his role as Dominic Toretto in the 2021 sequel of the ‘Fast and Furious” films, “F9.”
