Review 10 movies to remember Paul Walker
Walker made his film debut in this 1986 slasher-comedy, which also starred veteran actors Howard Duff and John Carradine. In addition to Walker as the bespectacled "Professor" Bennett, the movie also starred a young, pigtailed Fergie, even before her Kids Incorporated days.
Walker reemerged as a Hollywood heartthrob and the object of Jennifer's affection in this drama set within a wholesome black-and-white 1950s sitcom, not too long after his tenure on television ended.
Varsity Blues was Walker's first foray into big screen quarterback stardom. The actor played Lance Harbor, the captain and star of the West Canaan Coyotes football team until he got injured, leaving room for Johnny Moxon to take over not only his spot on the team, but his position as the boyfriend of cheerleading captain Darcy Sears.
As Dean Sampson Jr., Walker continued to play a "meathead" as the guy who bet Zack Siler that he couldn't turn Laney Boggs into prime prom queen material. Of course, Dean went on to ruin the bet and tried to take advantage of Laney in a motel room, but Walker remained in teenage girls' good graces.
Walker returned to his horror roots nearly 15 years after his Monster in the Closet debut with this psychological thriller that centered on the conspiracy theories surrounding Yale's Skull and Bones student society.
In 2001, Walker won the role that launched his career into leading-man status. He played undercover LAPD officer Brian O'Conner, who infiltrated the local street racing scene. It's a role he's taken on for more than a decade and fans are expected to see Walker as O'Conner one last time in Fast & Furious 7.
Despite its name, Joy Ride had nothing to do with any Fast & Furious fare. After his freshman year of college, Lewis, his crush Venna, and his brother Fuller head home for summer break, but they take a detour when a prank involving a truck driver a goes awry.
As the Fast & Furious films continued to roll out in theaters, Walker brought his high-speed acting skills to the Bahamas-set action movie, co-starring Jessica Alba, Scott Caan, Tyson Beckford, and Josh Brolin.
The actor played Sgt. Hank Hansen of the United States Marine Corps, which was based on the book of the same name about the six men who raised the American flag at The Battle of Iwo Jima, a turning point in World War II.
One of his final films released before his death, this Hurricane Katrina-centric thriller starred Walker as Nolan, the father of a newborn girl facing a life-or-death situation inside a hospital in the midst of the devastating 2005 storm.
Hearing this sad news, Paul Walker movies fans go for his custom tees website to show the best pray for him. Hope him rest peaceful in heaven.
