Vin Diesel Instagram – I’m so fortunate… for that I am grateful. Every character I have embodied has added a particular nuance to my perspective of life. When Sidney Lumet asked me to star in his court room drama I was all in…. I didn’t know that was going to have the blessing of meeting the man I was to portray. Jackie DiNorcio… a mobster, but a man with firm ideals and infatigable convictions. I am reminiscing about Sidney Lumet… and a moment in history where the mafia had its purpose… because… I just received a script! No, not just any script… Amy Pascal, who I have to mention by name, has just sent me the BEST script in Hollywood. This is the type of script that all of your heroes in the 70s and 80s would have fought for. Haha. Several writers have tried to attack the story of Kojak… always falling a tad bit short. But for some reason, in this crazy world… the script came in as a masterpiece. Wow. I am humbled, speechless. My favorite writer was always Budd Schulberg… but what I just read is… wow! I will say it again! Cause you all know I am a perfectionist. Haha, to a fault. The best script in 2024… Is Kojak! Hope to make you proud. All Love, Always.
