But we know Paul Walker not only for the role of Brian O’Conner. Already before the debut of “Fast and Furious” in 2001, the American actor became known to viewers as a talented person. In fact, he has been associated with the “big screen” since childhood. He started by acting in commercials, then at the age of 12 he got a role in the series “Highway to Heaven”, and then in films such as “Monster in the Closet” and in many Disney productions.
Walker’s death did not stop the work. They played… his brothers
However, it was his participation in the above-mentioned production about the automotive world that intersected with the criminal underworld that was his ticket to the headlines. For his role with Vin Diesel, he won the MTV Award for Best Acting Duo. The natural course of events was to create further editions of the bestseller. Walker managed to appear in as many as six of them – the seventh debuted after his death. The star had managed to shoot some scenes by then.
Interestingly, the director then made a risky decision to hire doubles (played by Paul’s brothers). Thanks to the use of the latest technologies, the actor’s faces were “computerized” onto them. The effect turned out to be comparative, and the film’s box office amounted to approximately USD 1.5 billion.
“Hey, let’s take a ride.” The environment will not forget
Paul Walker died on November 30, 2013, along with his friend Roger Rodas in a Porsche Carrera GT, and the actor happened to be a passenger this time. They were going to the actor’s charity auction dedicated to the victims of typhoon Haiyan in East Asia. They were moving much too fast, and the force of hitting the lamppost and then the tree was so great that the car broke into two parts. Both died on the spot.
Before setting off on what was to be the last trip in Walker’s life, he said the following words to his friend in the garage, Jim Thorp: “Hey, let’s take a ride.” The actor’s farewell was accompanied by many entries on the Internet, both from fans and the film industry. There was also a touching music video for the song “See You Again” by Wiz Khalifa, which became a bestseller and received numerous awards.
