She's two years older than me. I believe the age difference between my father and his older brother is about the same. |

It was horrible! I found the movie unwatchable because he appeared to be so heavily made up he looked to be in "white face". With his natural looks he could have played an italian, dark hair receding rather than sandy brown.... |
Well, if he were playing a fictitious character, sure. But, this movie was based on a true story, so they were probably trying to do their best to make him look like the real Giacomo "Fat Jack" DiNorscio.

| I do think Vin Diesel looks like an Italian in that movie. But in some other pictures without hair he looks mixed. Are there anyone of you who knows his origin for sure? Or are you all only guessing? |

Google is your best friend.... Try it sometime...
This is from MixedFolks.com ( http://www.mixedfolks.com/actors.htm ):
According to a BET article on him, "He doesn't like to get too specific about his background. He's Italian and a lot of other things" One of his fan clubs says, "His father is black. His mother is Irish, and he's also got some Dominican, Mexican, German and Italian thrown in." It seems that nobody knows for sure. He does admit that he is multiracial though. |

Wikipedia has him listed as just Italian and AA. No mention of him also having Dominican, German, Mexican, and Irish roots.

Funny thing about wikipedia, I clicked the footnotes, to see where the information came from, no mention of his ancestry at all in the articles, just seem like some random articles, since wiki needs a reference after every other sentence...
One reason why wiki is unreliable, and many colleges dont allow it as a reference... |

Amen! This, and the falsification of data by those with ideological interests in various subjects makes Wiki very unreliable. I'm beginning to detest that site. |

I agree. I do not accept Wikipedia sources as valid information to substantiate in the forums here. |
