Filmography

I think there should be a separate Filmography page like with every other actor. GamerKlim9716 (talk) 20:44, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ref 9 Not Available

The reference (numbered 9 as of 25 April, 2024) that states he refers to himself "of ambiguous ethnicity" is not a valid link. Khayes1003 (talk) 01:43, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this is a dead link, and I've now marked it as such:

Vincent, Mal (June 22, 2001). "'The Fast and the Furious' Vin Diesel Opens the Throttle in New Speed Movie and Joins an Elite 'Action-Star' Fraternity". The Virginian-Pilot. Norfolk, Virginia. ProQuest 387399055. Retrieved March 2, 2008.

I added the ProQuest id, but access is limited and it's just an abstract without the specific quote, "of ambiguous ethnicity." -- Pemilligan (talk) 15:24, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Vin Diesel breakthrough

Disagree that Pitch Black was Vin Diesels breakthrough. Saving Private Ryan clearly put him on the map and anyone who remembers seeing him at that time remembers that Pitch Black capitalized on his breakthrough in Private Ryan. You are wrong on this point 65.92.54.167 (talk) 02:34, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
