It was in 1998 that Vinnie was approached by up and coming director Guy Ritchie for a role in his cockney caper movie, LOCK STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS. Vinnie accepted the challenge and from this point, the former footballer had a new calling: movie star. Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels skyrocketed to the top in Europe and the USA, and Vinnie’s new career ascended in the same direction. He went on to star in hits such as SNATCH, GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS and SWORDFISH.

To this date Vinnie has appeared in over 100 screen projects, working with some of the film industry’s top producers and directors including Mathew Vaughan, Jerry Bruckheimer and Gary Lucchesi. He was seen in the massive blockbuster, X-MEN 3: THE LAST STAND as Cain Marko, better known as the Juggernaut, forever placing him in an iconic league of actors alongside Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry and Patrick Stewart.
