Long before he was beefing with The Rock and (allegedly!) driving away directors with his off-screen antics, Vin Diesel was just a humble up-and-comer in Hollywood. His first credited role was in the 1995 short "Multi-Facial," a drama Diesel directed and starred in as a multiethnic actor who struggles to find work due to his appearance (mirroring Diesel's own real-world experience). He would follow that by writing, directing, and starring in the 1997 feature film "Strays." In that case, Diesel drew inspiration from his upbringing in New York City to play a hustler who's searching for a greater purpose to his life.
