Him being the passenger is what makes it ironic.

Ironic is the tag line for the next film

Is that creepy or what.

I always felt he had greater potential if he could get out of the shadow of Furious he's had lesser known films that were great.

He has one coming out about Katrina which should be good. I remember first watching him when he was young in a soap opera.

That's the one I posted about. His passion project as they called it. Be interesting to see how it turns out. I expect it to be really good but I hope if he gets nominated for anything he actually earns it. Still not sure if I think Ledger should have won.

So he became the star of a franchise during its lowest point? After the person who brought back the audience when he made his return had left?

Why is it everyone gets so much more praise after their death? I had never even heard of this guy until yesterday, and people are already talking about him winning awards for a movie that nobody has seen, which will get raved reviews simply because a dead man is in the movie, even if it winds up being a total piece of garbage like The Dark Knight.

You understand 2 fast 2 Furious made more than quadruple its budget without Vin right? There was never a low point of the franchise with him. It just kept going on and on from there and grew, the only low point was that Tokyo drift film set before the next 3 in the timeline. And just because you hadn't seen him doesn't mean he's not relevant, just that you're out the loop as he's been in numerous roles like Varsity Blues, Dawson's Creek, Takers, and other things. If you didn't know the star of a billion dollar franchise that was critically acclaimed you're out of the loop as he's been doing this role and other Universal films for over a decade.

It is a guy who funded reading centers, shelters, sports programs, and all throughout the Los Angeles area. He gave scholarship money for kids to go to UCLA and USC. He donated millions to Katrina, typhoon, tsunami, and the Boston marathon victims. He's made a ton of wishes too for make a wish. And it was actually him who talked Diesel into returning to the franchise and even pitched the lets get the gang back together stuff that led to the others all returning to the franchise. He was a person who spent a lot of time helping people in Los Angeles especially off screen.

It's all shocking still and I'm still not believing he's gone. His work here on earth wasn't finished yet. Plus to the ignorant posters about him, this human being because that's what he was, yeah he was an actor, but he's a human being and has a daughter who'll now go on through life without her dad. It's a sad story and his work will live on forever!

Dude's not winning any awards for Fast & Furious 6 no matter how many times he died. Don't even see that much praise that he's getting (unless RIP counts as praise), SAIYANS just spitting some facts about the success of the series.

He's basically the reason I kept watching the movies.

Really? I kinda hated his character to be honest, the supporting cast made the movies for me. Rock definitely helped a ton in the last two.

Yessir! I was a fan of his work really. I always felt he did really well in these types of roles. He seemed to enjoy it too.
