Vin Diesel Find Me Guilty

Find Me Guilty Synopsis :: A drama based on the longest Mafia trial in U.S. history, mobster Giacomo ‘Fat Jack’ DiNorscio (Vin Diesel), faced with a series of charges, decides to stand trial instead of ratting out his family and associates. A wrench is thrown into the system when DiNorscio opts to defend himself.

Beverly Hills, California :: Actor Vin Diesel, 38, packed on 30 pounds of flab and underwent two hours of makeup a day to resemble the overweight DiNorscio.  "Find Me Guilty protects the career 20 years from now. Which is why you say, ‘No, I’m not going to do the big action film. I’m going to do this little thing which is all [director Sidney Lumet]. No money, just Sidney. Because what I can get learning-wise, experience-wise will allow me to be a working actor in my 60s and in my 70s.’ …It’s been a passion project.  The whole point of doing an epic auteur picture, directing an epic film, it’s one thing to do the Woody Allen thing. It’s another thing to do Braveheart." Above, Diesel poses at a photo call for Find Me Guilty opening in limited release this Friday, March 17, 2006.  Watch out for Vin Diesel’s guest appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman tonight on CBS @ 11:30pm ET/PT and tomorrow on Late Night with Conan O’ Brien on NBC @ 12:30 ET/PT.
