Mark Sinclair (born July 18, 1967), better known as Vin Diesel, is an American actor, producer, director, and screenwriter. He rose to international fame with his role as Dominic Toretto in The Fast and the Furious franchise.

Diesel began his career in 1990, but initially struggled to gain roles until he created and starred in the short film Multi-Facial (1995), which attracted the attention of director Steven Spielberg, who was developing his film Saving Private Ryan. Spielberg re-wrote elements of the film to allow Diesel to appear in it, which helped kickstart his career. He subsequently voiced the title character in The Iron Giant (1999) and gained a reputation as an action star after starring in The Fast and the Furious, The Chronicles of Riddick, and the XXX series.

Later in his career, Diesel also became known for lending his voice to the character of Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) and voicing a character in Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018). He also founded the production company One Race Films. Away from action films, Diesel has enjoyed commercial success in a number of other genres, such as in the comedy film The Pacifier (2005), while his performance in Find Me Guilty (2006) was praised.
