Fast and the Furious producer Neil Moritz tells Entertainment Weekly that Timothy Olyphant, and not Vin Diesel, was the movie studio's first choice to play Dominic Toretto. “The studio said, "If you get Timothy Olyphant to play the role of Dominic Toretto, the movie's greenlit.

As for Diesel, Neil says, “I remember I'm sitting at the bar waiting for him, and, boy, when those doors opened, it was like there was a klieg light on him — here comes the biggest star in the world.

I thought Vin was coming there to convince me to hire him, and in reality, I had to convince him to be Dominic Toretto.”

Dear Fonseca
I found a wallet over the weekend that was stuffed with an unbelievable amount of cash. I contacted the owner on Facebook. We are planning to meet later today so I can return the wallet. He did not mention anything about a reward or finders fee. This really bothers me. My friends say I should take some of the money and pay myself before giving him the wallet back. They say he should have been more thankful and offered money during our Facebook chat. Would you take a finder's fee if you were me? Is it right or wrong?
