In 2013, Diesel was seen in Fast & Furious 6, the sixth installment of the blockbuster Fast & Furious franchise, as well as Fast Five (2011) and Fast & Furious (2009).

Another endeavor in Diesel\u2019s entrepreneurial rise was the creation of his successful video-game company, Tigon Studios, which created and produced 2004\u2019s top-selling Xbox game, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay.<\/p>\n

Diesel previously starred alongside Michelle Yeoh in 20th Century Fox\u2019s Babylon A.D., for director Mathieu Kassovitz.

To play this role, Diesel transformed himself into the 47-year-old Italian mobster by putting on 20 pounds.<\/p>\n

Diesel will play the title role in Hannibal the Conqueror, which tells the story of the Carthaginian general who rode an elephant across the Alps to attack Rome in the third century B.C.
