In a move designed to help his One Race production company reach a global audience, Vin Diesel has hired former Universal exec David Ortiz.

Before Fast & Furious opened earlier this year to the tune of $70.9 million, Diesel was on a cold streak. Babylon A.D. and Find Me Guilty both failed to catch on with mainstream audiences.

A fifth installment in the Fast & Furious series is in development, and Diesel will also appear in a new xXx film.
