True. This colleague of Michelle Rodriguez from "Blue Crush", also claims that Michelle said, "she felt like a sexual hood ornament in that film". Personally I like her character in "The Fast and the Furious".
Multi-Facial. Vin Diesel wrote/produced/and starred in this movie about being bi-racial (or multi-cultural as he says). It was basically about him trying to get acting jobs, but being told he wasn't 'Italian enough’ or 'Black enough' for the roles (boy could I relate). Steven Spielberg saw this movie at the Cannes Film Festival in 1995. That’s how Vin got the role in "Saving Private Ryan".

Italian Mastiff. He has an Italian Mastiff (male), named Roman. I hoped you enjoyed this quiz as much as I did creating it. I could have made this quiz longer for you, but I thought to myself "Nah, Let's not do that".
Strays. "Strays" (1997) is an urban drama. Vin cast himself to play a gang boss whose love for a woman inspires him to change his ways. The film was selected for competition at the '97 Sundance Festival, which led to a deal with MTV to turn into a series.
