Line 10:
It gets better: one of the upcoming games is about his player character. ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' is actually attempting (kind of) to get him to join them in one of their podcasted D&D campaigns<ref>despite the very real possibility that putting both Riddick and [[Wil Wheaton|Wesley Crusher]] in the same room would destroy the universe</ref>.
 
Vin's probably most known for his work on the ''[[The Chronicles of Riddick (franchise)|The Chronicles of Riddick]]'' and ''[[The Fast and the Furious]]'' (specifically the first and last film) series, but he's done many things, from big budget action flicks like ''[[XXX]]'' and ''[[Saving Private Ryan]]'', to writing, directing, and starring in indie docu-dramas. He also voiced the title character in ''[[The Iron Giant]]'', and more recently, has turned the phrase [[Guardians of the Galaxy|"I am Groot"]] into the most expressive and understandable [[Pokémon-Speak]] ever seen on film. It also bears saying that he's one of the premiere examples of [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]] because while Riddick is a [[Magnificent Bastard]] and a murderer, Vin Diesel is reportedly a very sweet, polite guy.
 
Also, you know that "[[Memetic Mutation|Chuck Norris facts]]" fad that you ''may'' have heard of? Originally, [[Adaptation Displacement|those were all Vin facts]]. The best one of the lot? "Rearranging the letters in Vin Diesel's name reveals his credo: ''I End Lives.''"
