It looks like Vin Diesel‘s PR people tried to get him to disavow his gaming past — and Vin didn’t play along quite as they intended during this Chronicles of Riddick interview:
Q: Is it true you’re really into Dungeons and Dragons?Vin: No. I never play D&D. For some reason, they thought that I played D&D for 20 years. They thought that I spent years playing Barbarians, Witchunters, The Arcanum. They thought I played D&D back in the ’70s when it’s just the basic D&D set. They thought I continued to play D&D when it became Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. They thought I played D&D when there were only three books: the Player’s Handbook, the Monster Manual and the Dungeon Masters Guide. They thought I played D&D as it continued on to the Unearthed Arcanum, Oriental Adventures, Sea Adventures, Wilderness Adventures. They thought I played D&D at the time when Deities and Demigods was the brand new book. They thought I played D&D when I used to get up to a place called The Complete Strategist in New York.
[Mouths: "I'm into D&D a lot."]
