Vin Diesel in Red Dwarf

There's a lot of just blinking your misset Easter eggs in the film. Like I mentioned Baron Munchausen is in it. You've got a poem from Aliens. One of the cops is another a character from Aliens. He's Captain Hollister in Red Dwarf. In Red Dwarf you've got Vin Diesel as Fingar. That's Vin Diesel? Really? No way. Wait, way back before Vin Diesel was even known. Oh yeah. Stephen Private Ryan was the year or is it a year or two later? I'm not seeing that film. Was he insane? He's not. He's too rare.
