Which actor played Vince in the first Fast & Furious film? Matt Schulze played Vince in The Fast and the Furious (2001). Vince is a member of Dominic Toretto’s Los Angeles street-racing crew and one of the film’s more physically intimidating supporting characters.

Within the story, Vince is Mia Toretto’s longtime friend and has known Dom’s family for years. He is initially suspicious of Brian O’Conner, sensing that Brian is hiding something. That suspicion contributes to the tension surrounding Brian’s undercover police work, especially after Vince discovers Brian’s connection to law enforcement.

Schulze was already known for action roles, including Crease in Blade (1998), before joining the franchise. Vince later returns in Fast Five, where he is living in Rio de Janeiro with Rosa, his wife, and their son Nico. He joins Dom’s crew for the vault heist but is killed while protecting Mia and the team. The character is sometimes confused with other crew members such as Jesse or Leon, but Vince is specifically played by Matt Schulze.
