Vin Diesel is an American actor and film producer best known for playing Dominic Toretto in the Fast & Furious franchise.

Diesel began his career in 1990, but faced difficulty achieving recognition until he wrote, directed, and starred in the short film Multi-Facial and his debut feature Strays. The films prompted Steven Spielberg to cast Diesel in the war epic Saving Private Ryan in 1998. Diesel subsequently voiced the titular character in The Iron Giant and gained a reputation as an action star after headlining the Fast & Furious, XXX, and The Chronicles of Riddick franchises. Diesel also voices Groot I and Groot II in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Diesel founded the production company One Race Films, where he has also served as a producer or executive producer for his star vehicles. Diesel also founded the record label Racetrack Records and video game developer Tigon Studios, providing his voice and motion capture for all of Tigon's releases.
