Vin Diesel wrote, directed and starred in Multi-Facial and Strays, the latter a hit at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival. Steven Spielberg took notice and cast him in Saving Private Ryan (1998, with Tom Hanks), and the following year Diesel was the voice of The Iron Giant. He also appeared in the sci-fi thriller Pitch Black (2000) and in The Boiler Room (2000, with Ben Affleck). In 2001 he starred in the car-chase summer flick The Fast and the Furious, and in 2002 he established himself as a big-screen action hero in XXX (co-starring Samuel L. Jackson).
