Paul Walker
Paul Walker was a beloved actor and philanthropist who was tragically taken from us in 2013. He is best known for his role in the “Fast and Furious” franchise.
Walker began his career as a child actor in the 1980s, gaining recognition in the 1990s after appearing in the television soap opera The Young and the Restless; he received praise for his performances in the teen comedy She’s All That and the comedy-drama Varsity Blues (both 1999), and saw international fame by starring in The Fast and the Furious (2001).
Walker died in a single-vehicle collision on November 30, 2013, as a passenger in a speeding car. His father and daughter filed separate wrongful death lawsuits against Porsche, which resulted in settlements. At the time of his death, Walker had not completed filming Furious 7 (2015); it was released after rewrites and stand-ins, including his brothers Cody and Caleb, both of whom filled in for Walker, while the song “See You Again” by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth was commissioned as a tribute.
Walker’s sudden death was a shock to his fans and the entertainment industry. He was only 40 years old at the time of his passing and left behind a legacy of love and inspiration.
