Vin Diesel<\/strong> Early life<\/strong><\/h2>On July 18, 1967, Diesel was born Mark Sinclair in Alameda County, California, the same county where his mother was born. However, he and his fraternal twin brother, Paul, later relocated to New York City. Delora Sherleen Vincent, n\u00e9e Sinclair, is his mother and an astrologer. Irving H. Vincent, an African-American theater manager and acting coach, reared him along with his white mother. According to Diesel, he is “of ambiguous ethnicity.” His mother is of Scottish descent. Diesel has never met his biological father and claims that “all I know from my mother is that I have connections to many different cultures”; Diesel thinks that anti-miscegenation laws would have made his parents’ relationship illegal in some parts of the United States.<\/p>
At the age of seven, Diesel made his stage debut in Barbara Garson’s children’s play Dinosaur Door. The drama was performed at Greenwich Village’s Theater for the New City in New York. His involvement in the play began when he broke into the Jane Street Theater for the New City with the intention of vandalizing it, along with his brother and a few pals. Rather than calling the police, Crystal Field, the artistic director of the theater, approached them and offered them jobs in the upcoming production. Throughout his teenage years, Diesel continued to be active in theater. He then attended Hunter College in New York City, where his studies in creative writing inspired him to start creating screenplays. He calls himself an actor with “multi-faceted” qualities.<\/p>

While working as a bouncer at the New York nightclub Tunnel, Sinclair adopted the stage name “Vin Diesel” because he wanted a more masculine moniker for his line of work. Vin is derived from the married last name of his mother, Vincent, although his friends gave him the surname Diesel because of his propensity for exuberance.<\/p>
