Mark Sinclair, professionally known as Vin Diesel, is an acclaimed American actor and film producer. Born on July 18, 1967, Diesel's journey to stardom began with his studies in creative writing at NYC's Hunter College which sparked his interest in screenwriting.

Diesel's entrepreneurial endeavors include founding the production company One Race Films, record label Racetrack Records, and video game developer Tigon Studios.
Vin's early life saw him move from California to New York City. He made his stage debut at an early age of seven in the children's play Dinosaur Door, and continued his involvement with theater throughout his adolescence led him to expand his interests to screenwriting. Diesel started his movie career as an extra in the drama film Awakenings in 1990 but struggled to gain substantial roles, leading him to create his own short film, Multi-Facial.
