Paul walker was born on the 12th of September 1973


in Glendale, California.
He was a famous American Actor.

Background

He made his first big screen debut in the 1986 horror


spoof "Monster in Your Closet" afterwards he appeared
in several TV shows including "The Young and the
Restless" which got him attention for a role in the
1999 film "Varsity Blues".
After "Varsity Blues" he got a role in "The Fast and the
Furious" which was a very successful film which also
kept him bust with all the sequels this franchise also
got him to become a very popular actor among
Hollywood.
Paul Walker died in a car accident on November 30,
2013 at the age of 40 which was a bit ironic since in
the movies he was a car driver who loved speed.

Paul walker was born in Glendale which is in South


California
He was born as the son of a fashion model and thus he
inherited his mothers good looks, confidence and
poise. As a kid he was exposed to the world of show
business and it was not surprising that he would
develop an early interest in acting because of this.

Childhood

He was just two years old when he began modeling in


commercials such as Pampers and after a few years he
started to appear in television series in guest roles. As
a teenager he ventured into filmdom and he bagged
his first role in a movie which was a horror comedy
called "Monster in the Closet".
He gained a reputation as a popular teen star after the
movie and gained a lot more opportunities in staring in
more movies as he proved himself to be a good actor
in that movie.

His debut
Movie

His first movie that he acted in was "Monster in the


Closet" that is a comedy horror film made in 1986.
He was 13 years old when he stared in the film and
his role was 'Professor' Bennett.
It was a successful role played by him and got him
attention to upcoming movies.

"Varsity Blues" 1999 is the movie that got Paul Walker


famous and got him scouted for upcoming movies such as the
"fast and the furious" franchise.

Movie that
got him
famous

This movie is about the story of a back-up quarterback who is


chosen to lead a Texas football team to victory after the star
quarterback is injured.
Paul walker played the role of Lance Harbor who is the
quarterback who injures his knee and is unable to play
anymore.
He was very successful in his role and did a great job at
playing his character which got him more famous.

Fast and the


Furious

In "the Fast and the Furious 2001" Paul Walker


played the role of Brian O'Connor who is an
under cover police officer who needs to stop
the semi-truck hijackers led by Dominic Toretto
but during his undercover he becomes closer to
the hijackers.
This film in my opinion got Paul Walker famous
and set his life in acting as the franchise would
last for around 10 movies.
The film got 207.2 million US dollars in the box
office.

Fast Five is my favorite movie that Paul Walker


is in and it is the fifth movie in the franchise of
"fast and furious".

Fast Five

The reason I enjoyed him in this movie more


than the others is because he played his
character very well through out the movie and
it seemed as if he was the person in that
situation.
The movie got 626.1 million US dollars in the
Box office which is a tremendous increase from
the amount they hit in the first movie.

Paul died while being a passenger in a Porsche


Carrera GT which hit a tree in Santa Clarita California
on November 30 2013.

Death

It was a tragic and heartbreaking moment for many


people who loved his acting in movies as for some he
was an idol for car enthusiasts.
He died during his filming in Fast and Furious 7 and
the movie was delayed due to this and to fill his role
they used CGI as well as his brother to act for them.
Even though he died his legacy is still here in his
movies, he quoted "If one day speed kills me, do not
cry because I was smiling" before his death.
