Do you think Vin Diesel has a career in video games?

He has his own studio now and will be starring in two games next year - The Chronicles of Riddick Assault on Dark Athena and The Wheelman, so maybe his digital star is rising?

Given that Vin Diesel has been a gamer all of his life, it would only seem intelligent that he would have a mind for video games. I mean, the man wrote the foreword for the commemorative Dungeons and Dragons book "30 Years of Adventure: A Celebration of Dungeons & Dragons." They may not star the characters he portrays, but I could definitely see him as a producer.

I think his voice is perfect for voice-over. It would scare little children.

Considering how poor of an actor he is, he would fit right in with video game voice acting.

Fast and the Furious: "It dusn't madduh if it's an inch... or uh miuhl.... winning is winning..." Thank you, Vin.

Resident Evil: "You, Jill, the master of unlocking..."

Perfect match for him.

Yes.

Escape from Butcher Bay was a real joy to play. I loved the gritty ambiance. I really appreciated the depth of his involvement revealed in the "making of" documentary. He has the brains as well as the brawn. I'll be adding both new titles to my wish list.

I think he has a great voice and so if that is any consolation he may indeed have a career in video games, but I wouldn't recommend any actor depend on the video game as a career highlight.

Yes indeed. As a matter of fact, he has a videogame coming out with his likeness and all.

Vin Diesel is brighter than he looks and is very passionate about games. As long as he takes a measured approach to games and doesn't take unnecessary risks, I think his studio, Tigon, should do fine.

Is there any other actor more appropriate for video games? I'd say no. He was great in Escape from Butcher Bay. Although his movies are ok at best, his personality and toughness are perfect for videogames. With all this being said, I'd be sick of seeing one actor in a lot of games.
