Diesel aspired to be an actor from an early age and, when he was in his 20s, started hustling for movie roles. Being biracial, Diesel found it hard breaking through as he was considered not black enough, white enough, Italian enough, or Hispanic enough in the 80s and 90s Hollywood.<\/p>\n Frustrated by such a reality, the young Vin Diesel took matters into his own hands and produced and directed a short drama in which he starred.\u00a0That short drama, Multi-facial<\/em>, captured the discrimination he faced because of his heritage and made it to several film festivals. During one of those festivals, the legendary director, Steven Spielberg, saw it and decided to cast Diesel in his award-winning 1998 film, Saving Private Ryan<\/em>. The role was a small one, but it led to a series of other small roles, and three years later, Diesel landed the career-defining role of Dom on the Fast and Furious<\/em> franchise.<\/p>\nVin Diesel is the Perfect Combination of Action Hero and Family Man<\/strong><\/h2>\n
