Vin Diesel parents: Meet Irving Vincent, Delora Vincent

Vin Diesel, whose real name was Mark Sinclair, was born on July 18, 1967, in Alameda County, California, United States. He was an American actor and producer who was best known for his roles in action movies, particularly the Fast and the Furious series.

Sinclair’s mother, fraternal twin brother, and African American stepfather, Irving Vincent, a theatre manager who gave him some of his first stage roles, all lived in New York City as he was growing up. He went by the name Vin Diesel and worked as a club bouncer when he was still in his teens. He went to Hunter College, but he left to work as an actor in Los Angeles.

Diesel moved back to New York in 1995 after struggling in Hollywood, where his only notable role was in the 1990 film Awakenings with no credits. His mother gave him a copy of the 1988 book Feature Filmmaking at Used-Car Prices by Rick Schmidt. This book inspired him to make the semi-autobiographical 1995 short film Multi-Facial, which is about a biracial actor who is having trouble getting roles. In order to raise funds for his 1997 feature film Strays, he worked as a telemarketer.
