LOST TOY FAIR PERFORMANCE with VIN DIESEL 1994

For years I couldn't figure out why Vin Diesel looked so familiar until I found this segment I shot with him at New York Toy Fair in 1994. I even came back the next day with a VHS copy of the segment with him, because I thought he had something, and maybe the tape would show them that.
But I found out the next day Mattel public Relations people fired him for fooling around to much, Oh well, it's a shame he never mounted to anything of destroying more cars in a life time than the Toy he demonstrated.
All I can say is we way a really nice kid, and glad he's doing well, in a manner of speaking.
I wouldn't want to stair him wrong, bad pun.
