Early life:

Vin Diesel was born in Alameda County, California, on July 18th, 1967, to Delora Sherleen Vincent, an astrologer, though he later moved to New York City with his fraternal twin brother Paul. He never knew his biological father and was raised by his mother and adoptive father, Irving H. Vincent. Irving was an acting director and theatre manager. Diesel believes that his parent’s relationship would have been illegal because of the anti-miscegenation laws that do not allow interracial marriages.

Career:

Vin Diesel’s first taste of acting came from his appearance in the kids’ stage play Dinosaur Door, produced at Theater for the New City in New York’s Greenwich Village. He got the role by accident when he and his brother and some other friends broke in and tried to vandalize the Theater. They were caught, but instead of calling the police, the Theater’s artistic director offered them roles in the play. This sparked their love for the arts in him, and he attended NYC’s Hunter College, where studies in creative writing led to him becoming a screenwriter.
