Paul Walker



Paul Williams Walker IV (September 12, 1973 - November 30, 2013) was an American actor who played Brian O'Conner in The Fast and the Furious and its sequels. He also appeared in movies like Joy Ride, Timeline, Into the Blue, Running Scared, and Varsity Blues. His very first movie was Monster in the Closet, where he played "Professor" Bennett.

On November 30, 2013, in the middle of the filming Furious 7, Walker and Roger Rodas left a charity event with Rodas driving in a Porsche Carrera GT. The car crashed into a lamp post and two trees before bursting into flames. Both men were killed on impact and their bodies were burned beyond recognition. No drugs were alcohol were found in any of their bodies. Drag racing was also ruled out as no sign of a second car was present. However, police did discover evidence that Rodas was speeding at around 80 - 93 mph in a 45 mph speed zone, and that his Carrera GT was running on 9-year-old tires (the car was kept on display in a showroom and seldom driven).

The filming of Furious 7 was put on hold, and director James Wan decided to use body doubles, stunt doubles and CGI to finish the film, making Furious 7 Walker's last film. A song entitled "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth was dedicated to Paul Walker.

Paul Walker's grave can be found at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
