Bio

Paul Walker was an American actor best known as Brian O’Conner in the “Fast & Furious” film series. He died on November 30, 2013, at age 40.

Fair-haired and blue-eyed actor, Paul Walker skillfully portrayed the charismatic Brain. He depicted the character, which had 2 faces. The first one was the face of the speed lover, who knew everything about turbo engines. The second one belonged to the conscientious policeman. He had a task to ingratiate himself with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), the champion of illegal street racing. Dominic was suspected of a string of street robberies, done on four wheels.

Paul was born in the family of a fashion model (mother) and a sewer contractor (father). Walker had an upbringing as a Mormon. Being beautiful like an angel, Paul immediately became popular as a child model. He had participated in TV commercials since he was 2. He joined the career of a child model by getting academic education at Village Christian School.

Soon Paul’s commercials turned into tiny supportive roles. One of his first screen works was in the series “Highway to Heaven”, which became a real hit in the 1980s. The angel-like teen boy Paul appeared as Todd Bryant in the 6th episode of the 1st season.

He gained initial popularity as Skip from the fantasy comedy “Pleasantville”. In the film, Paul portrayed a bright handsome man who was deprived of his virginity by Reese Witherspoon‘s screen character. Later he acted in the teen comedy “She’s All That” before diving into the Fast and the Furious universe.

Walker starred in six released “Fast & Furious” films. He died while riding as a passenger in a Porsche Carrera GT driven by his friend Roger Rodas; investigators concluded that excessive speed caused the crash.
