One of the things that cannot be overlooked about Vin Diesel's family story is the fact that it is still unknown to him who his biological father is. As much as he would have desired to get more information about his dad, the mother decided to make it an issue that is not worth talking about. However, Vin Diesel has always stressed the point that his ethnic background is mixed. While his mother has English, German and Scottish ancestry, it is probable that his father also belonged to another race which could be mixed as well.

Vin Diesel parents
Vin Diesel is blessed with a fantastic mother named Delora Sherleen Sinclair, a successful astrologer/psychologist, and her origin is not really clear. This is because Sherleen has Scottish, German and English backgrounds. Apart from his mother, as said earlier, Vin Diesel has not had the opportunity of meeting his biological father. This is because, at the early stage of his life, there was a separation between his mother and father after which his mother married Irving H. Vincent, who became the stepfather of Vin Diesel. Vincent was a theatre manager as well as an acting instructor before he later became a filmmaker. Even after his retirement from the acting industry, he continues his career as an educator in the area of acting.
