Vin Diesel
The Fast & Furious star is known for his action-packed roles, and the name Vin Diesel certainly fits the role. At the age of seventeen, the actor worked as a club bouncer in New York City and decided to discard his birth name, Mark Sinclair, at that time. The name that he would soon become to be known as all around the world is derived from his mother’s maiden name, Vincent, and Diesel was the nickname all of his friends gave him.
