What Is Vin Diesel’s Best Role? Here’s What /Film Readers Had To Say

What’s Vin Diesel’s best role? According to our readers, it’s Richard B. Riddick, the character from “Pitch Black,” “The Chronicles of Riddick,” and “Riddick.” It’s clear Diesel loves playing this character as he returns to it again and again, and would probably play the part again if they let him. In fact, a script for a fourth film is apparently already complete, although it doesn’t seem like there’s much more to the project, at least for now. Maybe this earth-shattering poll will change that! Perhaps the powers that be will see this and realize that the world needs, no — wants more Riddick. 

In any case, while I’m surprised Dom came in so low on the list, I think having Riddick at number one makes sense. He’s one of Diesel’s more interesting, complex characters, and “complex” isn’t exactly something Diesel does that often with his roles these days. But fans seemingly can’t get enough of his morally conflicted sci-fi hero/villain.
