The Cast of Fast & Furious, Then and Now

Since 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, Michelle Rodriguez has played Letty Ortiz. She acted as Dom’s lover who also has a knack for mechanics and high-octane racing. Letty has been a member of the street racing team since the beginning of the franchise, and she’s seen her fair share of twists and turns.

Dom learned that Letty perished after disbanding the crew in Fast & Furious, only to learn in Fast & Furious 6 that she survived a major accident but started working against him after suffering from amnesia.

Michelle Rodriguez acted as Ana Lucia Cortez on Lost from 2005 to 2010 after appearing in The Fast and the Furious. She’s also appeared in the Resident Evil series, Blue Crush, Avatar, the big-screen version of S.W.A.T., and other films.

As far as her Fast & Furious storyline was concerned, this is how things played out. Letty and Dom are now married in the eighth film, and they meet Cipher while on their honeymoon.

Vin Diesel, who played the role of Dom, started as a carjacker. He later became a mechanic and street racer in subsequent parts. Dom is the patriarch of a community of street racers, and after his father’s untimely passing, he is forced to take on the position of primary caregiver.

Auto mechanic was his initial career before moving on to orchestrating carjacking, a multi-million dollar heist, and illegal jobs for government agencies as the boss. Dominic is a gruff, strong man who preaches morality and loyalty and embodies many of the characteristics associated with his position.

Vin Diesel played roles in the Guardians of the Galaxy, xXx, and Riddick franchises since his debut as Dom Toretto.

More recently, Dominic Terreto has gone berserk and betrayed his family in The Fate of the Furious, possibly after being seduced by Cipher, played by Charlize Theron. We’re almost sure it takes more than that for Diesel to abandon his teammates.

Since 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, Jordana Brewster has played Mia Toretto, Dom’s sister and Brian’s longtime love. She’s a fast driver, but she rarely participates in Dom’s heists or races. While Dominic is in Panama, she calls to tell him of Letty’s passing.

She appears at Letty’s funeral and is often seen afterward either persuading Dominic not to put himself in danger or moaning to F.B.I. Agent Brian O’Conner about their previous relationship. They do eventually renew their relationship, as suggested in the film.

Jordana Brewster has had roles in films including Annapolis, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and American Heist.

She’s also featured in Lethal Weapon, Dallas, Secrets and Lies, American Crime Story, Dark Blue, and Chuck, among others. Jordana Brewster is scheduled to reprise her role as Mia in the ninth installment of the Fast & Furious franchise – aptly titled, F9.

In The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Sung Kang entered the Fast & Furious series as street racer Han “Seoul-Oh” Lue. The protagonist in the franchise is also a thief and business partner of Takashi.

He fled the United States after the demise of his girlfriend Gisele Yashar in Spain to settle in Tokyo, Japan. Afterward, he was presumably vanquished by Deckard Shaw. Before his character’s passing at the end of Fast & Furious 6, he appeared in the series’ previous three installments.

Sung Kang appeared in films such as Live Free or Die Hard, Battle, and Ninja Assassin. He also appeared on MADtv for four episodes, starred in the short-lived series Gang Related, and has played Assistant U.S. Attorney John Mak on Power since 2017.

Sung Kang also appeared in the 2019 movie Code 8 as Officer Alex Park. As a business owner, Sung Kang owned a restaurant in Brentwood, Los Angeles. The restaurant, known as Saketini, was closed down in 2013.

Eva Mendes, who played Monica Fuentes, entered the Fast and Furious series as undercover U.S. customs agent Monica Fuentes. She also appeared in the 2011 film Fast Five.

Eva Mendes appeared in a mid-credits scene in the movie after starring in 2 Fast 2 Furious. She contacts Dwayne Johnson’s Luke Hobbs and informs him that Michelle Rodriguez’ Leti is alive and well, working for the evil Owen Shaw (Luke Evans), setting up Fast & Furious 6 in 2013.

Hitch, Ghost Rider, and The Other Guys were among the films in which Eva Mendes appeared. She and Ryan Gosling met while co-starring in The Place Beyond the Pines in 2013, and she went on to star in his directorial debut, Lost River, in 2015.

Since then, she hasn’t acted. After the birth of her kids, Eva Mendes retired from acting to spend time with her family.

Sean Boswell, an American high school student living in Tokyo, first appeared in the Fast and Furious series in 2006’s The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and he had a cameo in 2015’s Furious 7.

Sean decides to talk with Cindy, Clay’s girlfriend. He prepares to leave school because she admires his car, a white 1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Clay. Enraged that Sean is talking to his girlfriend, he insults his car even more by listing his car’s features, a 2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10.

Lucas Black starred in films such as Get Down, Legion, Promised Land, and 42, among others. Since 2014, he has played Christopher LaSalle on N.C.I.S.: New Orleans.

For a couple of years there, it seemed like Lucas Black was out of the acting industry for good as the jobs didn’t seem to be coming his way. However, there are reports that he’ll reprise the role of Sean in the forthcoming ninth installment – F9.

In 2011’s Fast Five, Elsa Pataky made her debut as a Brazilian patrol officer Elena Neves, who has a brief love affair with Dom before joining Hobbs at the DSS. She appeared in the series’s following three films, but her character sadly passed halfway through 2017’s The Fate of the Furious.

Before her passing, one of the highlights of Elena was when she supported Dominic Toretto’s team in stealing $100 million from crooked lawmaker Hernan Reyes. She eventually becomes good friends with Dominic before he moved to Los Angeles to serve with Hobbs.

Aside from Fast and Furious series, Elsa Pataky hasn’t accomplished much in Hollywood, although she did appear in 2013’s All Things to All Men, 2015’s The Wine of Summer, and 2018’s 12 Strong, in which she played the wife of real-life husband Chris Hemsworth’s role.

It seems like Pataky will reprise her role of Elena Never in the ninth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise – F9.

With 2003’s 2 Fast 2 Furious, Tyrese Gibson debuted as Brian’s childhood friend, ex-con speedster Roman Pearce, in the Fast and Furious franchise. When Brian, Mia, and Dominic Toretto contacted Roman, he travelled to Rio de Janeiro.

While trying to steal $100 million from a fraudulent Brazilian businessman, he was hired because of his skills as a “fast-talker.” At first, he is hesitant, believing the mission is personal rather than business-related until Dominic informs him that the amount is $100 million, with Tej stating that his cut will be just over $11 million.

Since then, Tyrese has starred in films such as Four Brothers, Annapolis, Ride Along 2, and Legion. Worked in the Transformers franchise since 2007. He’s also featured on Star in 2017, wrote two books, recorded four studio albums, and obtained five Grammy nominations.

In terms of future projects, Tyrese Gibson will reprise his role of Roman Pearce in the ninth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise – F9. He will also star alongside Jared Leto in the upcoming Marvel movie Morbius.

In 2001’s The Fast and the Furious and 2011’s Fast Five, he played Vince, Dom’s naive childhood friend. When Vince begins a battle with Brian O’Conner at the Toretto shop, Mia reacts by telling Dominic that she is sick of this nonsense, implying that Vince and Brian have previously clashed.

Matt Schulze went on to appear in films such as Blade II, The Transporter, Extract, and others before reprising his role as Vince in Fast Five in 2011. Before venturing into acting, Matt has wanted to be a studio musician after moving to Los Angeles in 1992.

However, his desire switched gradually when he started modeling. Matt Schulze became a father in 2012 when he welcomed a baby boy named Hendrix. Since then, he’s stopped acting.

Fans of the franchise will recognize Devon as the character Suki from the 2003 sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious. Suki is a friend of Brian O’Conner and an on-again, off-again girlfriend to Tej Parker.

She is known to be a great driver and she and her crew are entirely female, making Aoki’s character quite the powerhouse. Though this beauty no longer acts, she certainly made quite a splash with her few film features.

After getting her break-out role in the Fast and Furious franchise, she went on to get another supporting role in 2005 movie Sin City. After that, Aoki’s acting career really took off when she landed lead roles in DOA: Dead or Alive and Mutant Chronicles.

Since then, the sister of famed American DJ, Steve Aoki, has gone back to modeling full time. What a cool, talented, and good-looking family!

In 2003’s 2 Fast 2 Furious, Ludacris starred as mechanic and tech expert Tej Parker. Tej Parker is a former street racer who now works as a mechanic and technical advisor.

Tej is a character in the Fast and Furious series, and he is a friend of Brian O’Conner, who encouraged him to race while he lived in Miami, Florida. Afterward, Tej is hired by Dominic Toretto to steal money from a crooked Portuguese businessman, Hernan Reyes, and becomes a member of Dominic Toretto’s crew.

Deckard Shaw is Hattie and Owen Shaw’s older brother. He is also an ex-British military man and MI6 agent who became a mercenary. At the end of Fast and Furious 6, he entered the Fast and Furious franchise as mercenary Deckard Shaw.

Deckard tried to take revenge over his brother Owen, after his humiliating loss to Dominic Toretto and his men. He ended up vanquishing Han Seoul-Oh, a decision he later regretted. In 2015’s Furious 7, he played the main antagonist before joining Dom’s crew in 2017’s The Fate of the Furious.

She was Arturo Braga’s go-to when he formed Dominic Toretto’s feelings, but he didn’t reciprocate. She tells him that delivering Braga’s substances across the border could put him in danger. During the confusion surrounding the trade set up as a trap for Braga, Dom saved her life. She repays the favor by revealing the location of Braga’s Mexican hideout.

Gal Gadot has acted in films such as Date Night, Knight and Day, Triple 9, Terrorist, and Keeping Up with the Joneses since making her feature film debut in Fast & Furious.

In 2011’s Fast Five, he joined the Fast and Furious series as D.S.S. Agent Luke Hobbs, who joins Dom’s gang. Luke Hobbs was born and raised in Samoa, one of many boys and only one girl to an unidentified father and Sefina Hobbs. Hobbs’ father was a thief who committed several bank robberies but was absent from his children’s lives.

Luke felt obligated to report his father to the authorities to protect his remaining brothers, even though his actions made his brothers hate him. Luke and his sister were forced to flee Samoa and move to the United States of America.
