The Cast of Fast & Furious, Then and Now

The Fast and the Furious debuted in theaters in 2001. And since then, gone on to become one of the most successful film series of all time. All of the awesome car chases, races, and missions have been at the center of pop culture for the last two decades. It seems like it was just yesterday when the first movie dropped. Many of the film’s main stars, such as Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez got their start in the franchise and have since risen to stardom. Let’s take a look at what the Fast & Furious stars are doing now with their lives.

Michelle Rodriguez as Letty Ortiz

Since 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, Michelle Rodriguez has played Letty Ortiz. She acted as Dom’s lover who also has a knack for mechanics and high-octane racing. Letty has been a member of the street racing team since the beginning of the franchise, and she’s seen her fair share of twists and turns.

Dom learned that Letty perished after disbanding the crew in Fast & Furious, only to learn in Fast & Furious 6 that she survived a major accident but started working against him after suffering from amnesia.

Michelle Rodriguez – Now

Michelle Rodriguez acted as Ana Lucia Cortez on Lost from 2005 to 2010 after appearing in The Fast and the Furious. She’s also appeared in the Resident Evil series, Blue Crush, Avatar, the big-screen version of S.W.A.T., and other films.

As far as her Fast & Furious storyline was concerned, this is how things played out. Letty and Dom are now married in the eighth film, and they meet Cipher while on their honeymoon.

Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto

Vin Diesel, who played the role of Dom, started as a carjacker. He later became a mechanic and street racer in subsequent parts. Dom is the patriarch of a community of street racers, and after his father’s untimely passing, he is forced to take on the position of primary caregiver.

Auto mechanic was his initial career before moving on to orchestrating carjacking, a multi-million dollar heist, and illegal jobs for government agencies as the boss. Dominic is a gruff, strong man who preaches morality and loyalty and embodies many of the characteristics associated with his position.

Vin Diesel – Now

Vin Diesel played roles in the Guardians of the Galaxy, xXx, and Riddick franchises since his debut as Dom Toretto.

More recently, Dominic Terreto has gone berserk and betrayed his family in The Fate of the Furious, possibly after being seduced by Cipher, played by Charlize Theron. We’re almost sure it takes more than that for Diesel to abandon his teammates.
