Mark Sinclair was born on July 18, 1967, professionally known as Vin Diesel. He is an American actor and producer and one of the world's highest-grossing actors and is best known for his role in The Fast and The Furious franchise as Dominic Toretto.
Diesel's stage debut is in a children's play called Dinosaur Door, written by Barbara Garson at the age of seven. He'd broken into the Theater for the New City with his friends with the intent to vandalize it, but they were confronted by the theater's artistic director, Crystal Field. The director offered them roles instead of calling the police, and Diesel accepted. He remained involved with Theater for the New City through adolescence and attended NYC's Hunter College, where he studied creative writing.
He ultimately decided to pursue screenwriting, deciding on his new stage name in 2000 while he was working as a bouncer: Vin Diesel. Powerfully built, the name Vin came from his mother's married last name, Vincent, and it was common for people to call him "Diesel." The surname "Diesel" came from a group of friends who had started calling him that because of his high energy level.
