Easily the best Vin Diesel movie you've probably never even heard of. This little gem was made in 1995 by none other than Dominic Toretto himself, before he became everything he admonished. Not hating on Vin Diesel, the first Fast and the Furious is MY SHIT, but after you watch this 20 minute treasure by the name of Multi-Facial, you will definitely know what I mean. The short deals with a revolving subject in the underworld of an actor, typecasting. Diesel does an excellent job illustrating the internal struggles of an actor. I have never had and don't think I will ever develop a interest in becoming an actor but I sympathize with him, so much to verge of almost tears. ALMOST. The familiar dialogue makes it seem like the whole short is an effortless conversation between you and a couple of buddies. Vin diesel did so well directing, writing and starring in this film that he called the attention of none other than this little Hollywood director, Steven Spielberg, who gave Diesel a part in his next epic, Saving Private Ryan. Four out five stars.
