Paul Walker

Paul Walker was born in Glendale, California on September 12, 1973. His complete name is Paul W. Walker Jr. He studied in Village Christian Highschool, in Sun Valley, California, and graduated in 1991. When he was in school he was in the varsity high school football team. Since childhood, he started appearing in Pamper commercials and other TV shows like Who's the Boss, and Charles in Charge. His official debut was in 1986 with the horror movie, Monster in the Closet. After highschool, he still played football and he decided to study marine biology in a college in southern California.

In 1998 he jumped to fame when he filmed the movie Pleasantville with Reese Witherspoon. Some important films he made after that are She's All That and Varsity Blues. One of his most important movies have been The Fast and the Furious with Vin Diesel. This movie is the movie people most recognize him for. In 2003, he filmed the second part of this movie called 2 Fast and 2 Furious. In 2005 he also made a great movie with Jessica Alba called Into the Blue. The films Paul Walker has participated in this year are Flags of Our Fathers, a movie directed by Clint Eastwood and is about six soldiers in the battle of Iwo Jima, who was a really important battle in WWII, he also participated in Eight Below, a Disney film that takes place in Antartica, he takes the role of a traveler in the Antartica that has to leave his sled and his dogs because his life is in danger but then he comes to rescue them, the last film has been Running Scared, a movie with suspense and action.

I think Paul Walker is a great actor because he can interpret many different kinds of characters and can act very well in different types of films which is very hard because you need to express different kinds of feelings for the different characters. For example, Eight Below is a kids movie, while Into the Blue is an action movie and it is about a treasure they find in a boat in the sea and an airplane that is undersea too that has lots of valuable things they can sell and gain a lot of money but it is illegal to sell those things and Fast and the Furious is more about cars and action and the police. Those are the reasons why I think Paul Walker is one of the best actors.
