VIDEO : Timothy Olyphant Was Almost The ?Fast And Furious? Lead Instead of Vin Diesel

As The Fate of the Furious arrives in theaters to teach the globe important lessons about family and torpedo-related nuisances, a key player in the blockbuster franchise has revealed that this all could have been a Diesel-less existence. Original Film founder and steadfast Furious franchise producer Neil H. Moritz revealed this mindbending bit of trivia on The Bill Simmons Podcast. The studio said, ?If you can get Timothy Olyphant to play that role we will greenlight the movie. The luckiest thing that ever happened to us is Tim Olyphant turned us down." Moritz was the guy that would suggest/endorsed Diesel to play the character. Sensible choice.
