Watch Vin Diesel's Suprisingly Poignant Short Film From 20 Years Ago

Back in 1995, a frustrated young actor named Vin Diesel made a short film about, well, being a frustrated young actor. Multi-Facial recently surfaced, and it features Diesel struggling to earn parts at auditions and finding that his racially ambiguous facial features almost automatically get him cut from the call sheet. Needless to say, the Furious 7 actor has found his niche in Hollywood, but this is certainly interesting to look back on. He sports an earring, puts on a thick Italian accent, raps, and gives an impassioned monologue at the end about his father. Fun fact: Steven Spielberg saw the film at Cannes and put Diesel in Saving Private Ryan because of it. Check it out below.
