Paul William Walker IV was an American actor who was born on September 12, 1973 and passed away on November 30, 2013. He is most recognized for his part in the Fast & Furious series as Brian O'Conner.
Walker began his acting career as a child actor in the 1980s, and rose to prominence in the 1990s after starring in the television soap opera The Young and the Restless; he received critical acclaim for his roles in the teen comedy She's All That and the comedy-drama Varsity Blues (both 1999), and achieved international acclaim for his role in The Fast and the Furious (2001).
Walker went on to appear in the financially successful road thriller Joy Ride (2001), where he established himself as an action star.
He then went on to star in the box office flops Into the Blue (2005) and Running Scared (2006), but he received acclaim for his work in the survival thriller Eight Below and as Hank Hansen in Flags of Our Fathers (both 2006).
Walker's other roles were mostly in low-budget action films, although he did feature in the financially successful heist thriller Takers (2010). On November 30, 2013, Walker died as a result of injuries suffered in a single-vehicle accident.
Separate wrongful death claims against Porsche were brought by his father and daughter, both of which were settled.
Walker had not finished shooting Furious 7 (2015) when he died; it was released after rewrites and stand-ins, including his siblings Cody and Caleb, stepped in for him, and Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's song "See You Again" was commissioned as a memorial.
Fast Five (2011)
Fast Five is a 2011 American heist action film directed by Justin Lin and written by Chris Morgan. It is also known as Fast & Furious 5 or Fast & Furious 5: Rio Heist.
It is the fifth movie in the Fast & Furious series and the sequel to Fast & Furious (2009).
Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Matt Schulze, Sung Kang, Tego Calderon, Don Omar, Gal Gadot, Dwayne Johnson, and Joaquim de Almeida are among the cast members.
Dominic Toretto and Brian O'Conner form a heist squad to steal $100 million from a crooked businessman while being chased by US Diplomatic Security Service agent Luke Hobbs.
Universal Studios intentionally deviated from the street racing concept prominent in earlier Fast films in order to turn the brand into a heist action series featuring automobiles when producing Fast Five.
They believed that by doing so, they would be able to appeal to a broader audience who would otherwise be turned off by a strong focus on automobiles and automotive culture.
Fast Five is regarded as the series' transitional picture, with just one vehicle race and a focus on action set pieces such as brawls, gunfights, and the core robbery. The film was promoted via social media, virtual games, theater chains, car manufacturers, and NASCAR races, among other places.
Lin, Diesel, and Walker's comebacks were announced in February 2010, and the main shooting started in July and lasted until October of that year, with production taking place in Atlanta, Puerto Rico, and Rio de Janeiro.
Brian Tyler, who composed the scores for the previous two episodes, returns to provide the music for this one. The film is noteworthy for focusing on real stuntwork rather than the computer-generated locations seen in previous installments of the series.
Fast Five had its global debut on April 15, 2011, in Rio de Janeiro, and was distributed in theaters worldwide on April 29, 2011. Lin's directing, the action scenes, and Johnson's acting all garnered excellent reviews.
Fast Five earned over $625 million worldwide, making it the sixth highest-grossing picture of 2011, the highest-grossing film in the series at the time, and setting records in many foreign countries for Universal's highest-grossing opening weekend. On May 24, 2013, a sequel, Fast & Furious 6, was released in the United States.
