    he has the male-female multicultural non commited background crossover appeal vin diesel wants.

    makes sense

    He has a personality and can do action, comedy, or drama

    Vin is pretty much a one lane guy

    Not to mention even tho the rock is fairly new to the movie screen he has been a celebrity for like 20yrs

    Both you cats have the gist of it.

    But to his credit the Rock HAS embraced being a "man of color" more

    From the Ballers to GI JOE(by him having unquestionably black kids and family in that film)

    When an actor gets casted to a movie they dont get a say in the color of their costars.

    Never understood why people give actors/actresses ? on that.

    Yes they do. Input is asked from everyone. And good directors take heed to deliver a more authentic product.

    Not sure how common that is across the board.

    Lets say it is... Vin Diesle, The Rock, Halle Berry, Zoe Saldana are all products of mixed race relationships... How would it be more "authentic" for them to not be in a mixed race relationship in a film.

    Kinda wouldnt make any sense for them to bicker about something like that with a director.

    Depends on the director.
