Comic-Con 2013: Vin Diesel Feels ‘Guilty’ About Playing Violent Riddick

Oh, and we can thank "Dungeons & Dragons" for the "Fast & Furious" star's acting career

Has Vin Diesel turned into a softie?

Diesel told the crowd at Comic-Con on Friday that he struggles to watch his character Riddick on screen because he’s so violent, often questioning why he’s killing certain people.

“What’s inside of Riddick is so scary,” Diesel said. “Now that I have kids, when I watch [Riddick] there’s a part of me that feels guilty.”

Diesel first played the character 13 years ago in “Pitch Black,” a cult hit that birthed a sequel, “The Chronicles of Riddick.”

Many thought that film was the end of the franchise, but Diesel and writer/director David Twohy decided to try and make a third one.
