The Fast and the Furious, which was designed as little more than a modestly budgeted action programmer, became the breakout hit of that summer, capturing the cultural zeitgeist in a way that’s hard to reverse engineer. It was a major hit with the youth market. Diesel, with his bald head, muscular physique and unforgettable voice became the decade’s first icon, with audiences fascinated by his macho vibe, ambiguous ethnicity, and signature look. Studios didn’t waste any time building a star vehicle around him, with Sony making him the lead of a new super spy franchise they hoped would give James Bond some serious competition. The film, XXX, was among the most hyped films of the decade, with many thinking it would be such a phenomenon that it would make the Bond franchise irrelevant. That didn’t quite happen, as despite being a solid – if unspectacular – success, the franchise never really happened in the way Hollywood thought. Ironically, however, it led to some fundamental changes in the James Bond franchise. We’ll dig into all that as we find out WTF Happened to XXX? Enter Vin Diesel, aka Mark Vincent. In 1995, he wrote, directed, and starred in a short film called Multi-Facial, which was semi-autobiographical and caught the attention of a guy you might have heard of named Steven Spielberg. He followed it up with a feature film he also wrote and directed called Strays, which was a hit at the Sundance Film Festival, leading to Spielberg casting him in Saving Private Ryan. In it, he played an Italian-American soldier named Carpazo, whose compassion for a child leads to his agonizing death at the hands of a German sniper. His performance was noticed in a big way, as was his voice performance in The Iron Giant, in which he voiced the main character. By the year 2000, Diesel was on the rise, with him landing a solid dramatic role in Boiler Room and then the lead in a low-budget sci-fi/ horror flick called Pitch Black, in which he played a memorable anti-hero named Riddick, which was championed by early internet critics, and became a sleeper hit in theatres. The studio that put the film out, Universal, cast him in a modestly budgeted car flick they were prepping as a star vehicle for Paul Walker and his The Skulls director Rob Cohen. Initially titled Racer X, the movie, a thinly veiled riff on Point Break, was re-titled The Fast and the Furious. While Walker was the lead, it was Vin Diesel’s character, Dominic Toretto, who struck a chord with the young audience and turned the movie into one of the biggest hits of 2001, and by the end of that summer, Diesel was a household name.
