Watch the Short Film that Made Vin Diesel Famous

Date:

Watch the short film that made Vin Diesel famous and launched his Hollywood career.

Before Vin Diesel worked on the biggest film franchise of 2015, he was just a regular aspiring actor going from audition to audition. The problem he kept running into when he was an aspiring actor was that he was ethnically ambiguous which allowed for him to audition for a ton of roles but never actually land a single one. Frustrated by this endless cycle, he made a short film about his life titled ‘Multi-Facial’. It was produced 20 years ago for around $3,000 and it recently surfaced to the internet this month.

In the short film you see Vin Diesel display his acting chops playing various characters with very different accents and different cultures.Saving Private Ryan Vin Diesel

Vin Diesel’s short film was made in under a week for a pretty cheap price and it actually made it to the Cannes film festival where it caught the eye of Steven Spielberg. Spielberg later gave him a small part in ‘Saving Private Ryan’. So without this short film, there’s a good chance that Vin Diesel’s film career would have never taken off and the ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise would be more of a joke than a real box office success.
