Paul Walker
Paul William Walker IV (September 12, 1973 – November 30, 2013) was an American actor. Walker began his career guest-starring in several television shows such as ''The Young and the Restless'' and ''Touched by an Angel''. Walker gained prominence with breakout roles in coming-of-age and teen films such as ''She's All That'' and ''Varsity Blues''. In 2001, Walker gained international fame for his portrayal of Brian O'Conner in the street racing action film ''The Fast and the Furious'', and would reprise the role in five of the next six installments. He also starred in films such as ''Eight Below'', ''Timeline'', ''Into the Blue'', ''Joy Ride'' and ''Running Scared''.
Outside of acting, Walker was the face of The Coty Prestige fragrance brand Davidoff Cool Water for Men, and starred in the National Geographic Channel series, ''Expedition Great White''. He also founded the charity "Reach Out Worldwide" (ROWW), an organization providing relief efforts for areas affected by natural disasters. He was often highly noted for his off-screen charity work while often being poorly received as a performer. 〔http://www.sfgate.com/movies/article/Late-Paul-Walker-was-truthful-likable-actor-5026055.php〕〔http://www.debbieschlussel.com/67652/paul-walker-excessive-hype-over-substandard-actor-who-was-good-looking-james-dean-again/〕 〔http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2011/02/the-50-worst-actors-in-hollywood-history/jeff-goldblum〕 〔http://movies.allwomenstalk.com/worst-actors-of-our-time〕 〔http://hollywoodlife.com/2013/12/05/paul-walker-mean-tweets-fans-death/〕 〔http://twitchfilm.com/2013/12/review-hours-puts-all-its-dramatic-weight-on-paul-walkers-shoulders.html〕 〔http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/movie-jail-this-weeks-defendant-ispaul-walker〕〔http://flavorwire.com/414170/10-great-performances-by-terrible-actors〕〔https://contested.wordpress.com/2010/08/24/the-15-most-worstmost-annoying-actors-of-all-time/〕〔http://screencrave.com/2009-10-28/highest-paid-actors-who-cant-act/〕
Walker died in a single-vehicle collision on November 30, 2013, alongside friend Roger Rodas. Three films that he was involved in at the time were released posthumously: ''Hours'' (2013), ''Brick Mansions'' (2014) and ''Furious 7'' (2015). The song "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa, which appeared on the ''Furious 7'' soundtrack, is a tribute to Walker.
==Early life==
Walker was born in Glendale, California, and was the son of Cheryl (née Crabtree), a fashion model, and Paul William Walker III, a sewer contractor and a fighter who was a two-time Golden Gloves champion. Paul’s paternal grandfather had a boxing career as “'Irish' Billie Walker”. Paul's ancestry was mostly English, with some German, Swiss, and Irish. One of his grandfathers raced factory cars for Ford in the 1960s.〔 The oldest of five siblings, Walker was raised primarily in the Sunland community of Los Angeles and attended high school in the San Fernando Valley, graduating from Sun Valley's Village Christian School in 1991. He was raised as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.〔 After high school, Walker attended several community colleges in Southern California, majoring in marine biology.
