The cast of ‘Fast and Furious’ then and now: Vin Diesel

It’s about the family. ‘The Fast and the Furious’ changed the game when it was released on June 22, 2001. The movie became a huge box office hit and spawned one of the most successful movie franchises of all time. After 9 films, the “Fast” franchise has grossed over $6 billion at the box office. ‘Fx’ is sure to add to that number, with the newly released trailer hinting that the final films will be filled with action, suspense and, of course, excitement.

The first film stars the main cast of Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez. Over the years, other members of the “Fast” family have joined the team, with Brie Larson, Jason Momoa, and Rita Moreno joining the cast for the last two films.

But it was Vin who became a household name when the first movie came out. He leads the “Fast” franchise as the one and only Dom Toretto, but that’s not all he’s done. Vin also starred in the ‘XXX’ and ‘The Chronicles of Riddick’ film series. Most notably, he voices the character of Groot in the MCU. In addition to two other ‘Fast and Furious’ movies, Vin was rumored to be in subsequent ‘Avatar’ sequels, but that didn’t happen.

Now, let’s meet the rest of the family.

Paul Walker

Paul Walker was best known for playing Brian O’Connor in the series ‘Fast’. He started the franchise with Vin Diesel in ‘The Fast and the Furious’. He has appeared in 6 ‘Fast’ movies, the latest being ‘Fast & Furious 7’. Paul died tragically in a car accident in November 2013. He was only 43 years old. At that time, he hadn’t finished shooting ‘Furious 7’ yet. His brothers filled in for him in the scenes remaining to be filmed. However, his character was not killed off in the franchise and has been called off-screen several times since his death. His movie family has also been there for his real family, with Vin Diesel walking Paul’s daughter down the aisle when she got married.
