[[File:20090420-upload.jpg|link=Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|frame|''[[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]'' shows us how [[Vin Diesel]] [[Stealth Pun|rolls.]]]]
Vin Diesel is the guy they get for the [[Scary Black Man]] role when they [[But Not Too Black|can't get a fully black guy]].
Not really, but still.
Vin has spent most of his film career playing [[Bald of Awesome|bald]], brawny [[Badass]] guys who sound like they gargle with thumbtacks and whiskey. (Which is [[Fetish Fuel|the basis of]] his appeal for some.) However, unlike most action stars, Vin has a huge advantage that helps to get him fanboys: [[One of Us|he is a massive geek]]. [[Badass Bookworm|A massive geek]] [[Genius Bruiser|who could break your spine]]. Seriously, the guy loves ''[[Dungeons
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]]''. 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.''"
