The Cast of Fast & Furious, Then and Now
Michelle Rodriguez as Letty Ortiz
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 – Now
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 as Dominic Toretto
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 – Now
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.
Jordana Brewster as Mia Toretto
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.
