Do you think he's a good actor?


A) Yes.
B) No, I'm racist.

reply

C) Nope. I have good taste.

reply

He's a stiff. He's the sort of dude you might find working in a jiffylube, and, were you a hollywood pygmalion sort, decide to make an action movie hero. Instantly. On Friday, he was changing your oil - on Monday he was on the set mumbling out his lines like a trooper.

reply

I don't think he's got the charisma for jiffylube. I think he'd make a great bouncer.

reply

Your right. He's got bouncer written all over him.

reply

has he actually done anything other than Fast and Furious?

yes I know he was in Saving Private Ryan

I've just IMDB'd him and he was in Riddick and xXx as well (and Pitch Black) - playing pretty much the same character he plays in F&F

reply

Is he even an actor if he just plays himself?

reply

you mean if he only plays one type of character?

reply

Yeah. The character is himself.

reply

VIN DIESEL CANNOT SEE IN THE DARK...RIDDICK CAN...CHARACTER!

reply

The character is there, but the way he plays it is just acting like himself.

reply

nah he isn't like that in rl (I have no basis to back this statement up)

if he did then every time his TV lost reception, he would throw it out the window

reply

THEN HE WOULD SAY...


"DID NOT KNOW WHO IT WAS FUCKING WITH!"

reply

Solid in the right role i.e. "Riddick" franchise but otherwise generally passable at the best of times, with very limited range.
