Vin Diesel was born in New York City. He was raised by his astrologer/psychologist mother, Delora Sherleen (Sinclair), and adoptive father, Irving H. Vincent, an acting instructor and theater manager, in an artist's housing project in New York's Greenwich Village.
He never knew his biological father. His first break in acting happened by chance, when at the age of seven he and his friends broke into a theatre to vandalize it. A woman stopped them and offered them each a script and $20, on the condition that they would attend everyday after school. From there, Vin's fledgling career progressed from the New York repertory company run by his father, to the Off-Off-Broadway circuit. At age 17 and already sporting a well-honed physique, he became a bouncer at some of New York's hippest clubs to earn himself some extra cash. It was at this time that he changed his name to Vin Diesel.
Following high school, Vin enrolled as an English major at Hunter College, but dropped out after three years to go to Hollywood to further his acting career.
Being an experienced theatre actor did not make any impression in Hollywood and after a year of struggling to
make his mark, he returned to New York. His mother then gave him a book called "Feature Films at used Car Prices" by Rick Schmidt. The book showed him that he could take control of his career and make his own movies. He wrote a short film based on his own experiences as an actor, called Multi-Facial (1995), which was shot in less than three days at a cost of $3,000. Multi-Facial (1995) was eventually accepted for the 1995 Cannes Film Festival where it got a tumultuous reception.
Afterwards, Vin returned to Los Angeles and raised almost $50,000 through telemarketing to fund the making of his first feature, Strays (1997). Six months after shooting, the film was accepted for the 1997 Sundance Film Festival, and although it received a good reception, it did not sell as well as hoped. Yet again Vin returned disappointed to New York only to receive a dream phone call. Steven Spielberg was impressed by Multi-Facial (1995) and wanted to meet Vin, leading him to be cast in Saving Private Ryan (1998). Multi-Facial (1995) earned Vin more work, when the director of The Iron Giant (1999) saw it and decided to cast Vin in the title role. From there, Vin's career has steadily grown, with him securing his first lead role as Richard B. Riddick in the sci-fi film Pitch Black (2000). That role has earned him a legion of devoted fans and the public recognition he deserves.
After that he worded in many famous movies like fast and furious series, xXx and Reddick etc.

I am not going to write a big essay for this topic.I think this picture is all about it.It is saying each and everything which a man can say about the distribution of funds in every country at government level.
Here in Pakistan exactly this picture is going on..I would say, the conditions are even worst than this picture.
But we hoping for the best.And I believe that God will Bless us!

Paul Walker was born in raised in Glendale, Southern California. He has two brothers, Caleb and Cody, and one sister, Ashlie, and started his career as a child, doing modeling and acting.
As a young man, he excelled at sports and picked up a passion for surfing. Walker has always maintained a sense of freedom and a carefree ideology. His friends nicknamed him "Vagrant" because he never stays in one place for long.
After graduating from Village Christian high school, Walker attended several community colleges and at first majored in Marine Biology. Walker considered various career possibilities including marine biology. But with experience in modeling, a number of television guest spots on shows like Who's The Boss?, Diff'rent Strokes and The Young and the Restless already to his credit, he decided acting was definitely the way to go.
Walker made his feature film debut in the outrageous comedy Meet The Deedles (1998), with Steve Van Wormer, A.J. Langer and Dennis Hopper. This campy, silly but surprisingly fun film failed to garner much attention.
Fortunately, his next film, Pleasantville (1998), with Reese Witherspoon and Tobey Maguire was a hit with critics and viewers, and landed Walker on the map. From there, his popularity continued to rise with strong performances in Brokedown Palace (1999), Varsity Blues (1999) and She's All That (1999).
In 2000, Walker co-starred with Joshua Jackson in The Skulls, and then went on the road to escape a psycho-killer in the thriller Squelch, but it was The Fast And The Furious (2001) that propelled him to stardom. He also starred in the sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003). More recently he appeared in Fast & Furious 6 (2013).
In his spare time, Walker enjoyed surfing, snowboarding, skiing, snorkeling, sailboarding, sailing, shooting, and soccer. He has a daughter, Meadow, with an ex-girlfriend.
Walker died in a car crash on Saturday, November 30, 2013, when the Porsche he was a passenger in hit a tree and burst into flames. Both Walker and the driver were pronounced dead at the scene.
