I checked out his bio at IMDb and apparently he's been acting for a long time. Here's a snippet:

He began acting when he was very young, appearing in many TV commercials. In 1987 he played Prof. Bennet in Monster in the Closet (1986). He then starred in the television series, Throb (1986). He also made guest appearances on several television shows including Charles in Charge (1984),Highway to Heaven (1984),Who's the Boss? (1984) and Diff'rent Strokes (1978). Paul also had a role in the soap opera The Young and the Restless (1973).

In 1987, Walker was cast in Programmed to Kill (1987) as the character Jason, and since then he had appeared in a steady stream of movies.

and then he went to college and went back and started making big time movies:

With encouragement from friends and an old casting agent who remembered him as a child, he decided to try his luck once more with acting shortly after returning from College. He starred in Meet the Deedles (1998), a campy, silly but surprisingly fun film which failed to garner much attention. However, lack of attention would not be a problem for Paul Walker for long. With Pleasantville (1998), he appeared in his first hit. As the town stud (a la 1950s) who more than meets his match in modern day Reese Witherspoon, he was one of the most memorable characters of the film. Roles in the teen hits Varsity Blues (1999), She's All That (1999) and The Skulls (2000).

I finally saw one of Paul's movies over the weekend, "Eight Below". Not too bad. Poor dogs!

But one part of the movie that was sort of eerie was the bit when he got his photo taken with the scientist before they went on their trip. He put his arms up over his shoulders in sort of a "he-man" pose - much like the one they found him in after the crash...

Porsche 911 GT3 fire risk reports

PRESTIGE sports car maker Porsche said to be halting sales of 911 GT3 to probe fire.

Reports from overseas markets suggest Porsche has halted sales of the 911 GT3 in Europe as the carmaker moves swiftly to investigate a potential fire hazard with the high performance car. The 911 GT3 last sold here (Australia) in 2011 as part of the previous 997 generation, priced from $276,200, but overseas markets get a GT3 variant of the current 991 generation.

Photos have surfaced of a GT3 in flames on a Swizz police website, with emergency services personnel extinguishing the fire. The St Gallen police website reported: "A Porsche has caught on fire on the Wilerstrasse. Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire. The car suffered a total loss in the amount of 200,000 Swiss francs ($248,000)."

Hi all, newbie lurker here.

I don't the that we'll ever really know the full truth of what happened. Speed, of course, played a major factor, but the short distance between them entering the car and the ultimate crash, make me think there was something else on top of it.

Reading both autopsy reports, I think that Roger Rodas took the brunt of the injuries. I don't think that without the fire, Paul Walker would have walked away. Without the burns, he had too many major injuries that by the time they got him out to work on him, I think survivability would have been very slim. I don't agree with the whole bashing of Roger Rodas, either. Obviously, Paul Walker felt comfortable enough to get in the car with him. If something had come up on the tox screen, I would think differently, but with the facts we know, it looks like it was an accident. Avoidable accident, most likely, but still an accident.

I was not a huge fan of his, in fact, I was way more shocked and upset to learn about Philip Seymour Hoffman, however, he was a hottie and there was a small movie that I adored him in. It's called "Noel" and it was directed by Chazz Palminteri. It's a Christmas movie, a little on the sad, corny side, but I loved his role in it, and it's worth a look. Unfortunately, it's no longer available on Netflix streaming, but is available on Amazon streaming.

I did read that he just had taken custody of his daughter, due to his ex having a severe alcohol problem. She did live with her mom in Hawaii for 13 years before that. Makes it really a sad case for her.

The whole 16 year old thing does hit me as totally creepy, but as others have said, none of us know all the facts. I also read she was majorly pissed that he left his entire estate to his daughter, and did not provide anything for her, which screams to me that she is a bit on the immature side.

Just my two cents, anyway...

I have been listening to talk radio all day today and every show (all local stuff) has been going on about how horrible this person is and who is worse the guy who is selling them or the people who are bidding on them?? Blah blah. I'm not interested in stuff like that but what's the problem with people who are?

No drugs or alcohol were found in either of their systems, if I remember correctly. Not that I'm hoping you'll die but when it's time I hope there's cake around. Welcome to the forum!

Paul Walker's mother seeks guardianship of his daughter as she 'claims in court documents that teen's mom is an alcoholic'

Paul Walker's mother has allegedly claimed the mother of his teenage daughter has a drinking problem.

Cheryl Walker has filed court documents seeking guardianship of 15-year-old Meadow Rain Walkr – following Paul’s death in a fiery car crash in November - and according to TMZ claimed in the papers that Rebecca Soteros is an alcoholic.

Meadow was living with Paul for the past three years after leaving her home in Hawaii where she was raised by her mother, who was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in 2003 and 2013.

But the bottom line was that THEY WERE NOT MARRIED! Unless it is written in the will, that Jasmine chick has no legal right to a penny of Paul's money, or a right to even bitch.

I guess, in the end, SOMEONE is gonna get that money. Figures.

Unsafe speeds. What an absolute bummer.

"The fiery car accident last year that killed "Fast & Furious" actor Paul Walker was caused by excessive speed and not a mechanical failure, the Los Angeles County Sheriff said on Tuesday, concluding its almost four-month investigation."

Once the mourning period is over the haggle about money begins, especially if there is a lot of it. Death takes a back seat to the big bucks every time. Paul who ? Show me the money !

I really wonder how they 'replaced' him in the new movie.

**cindyt** · 04-13-2014, 11:17 PM

The same way they "replaced" Brandon Lee, Computer Generated Imagery for the movie was making at the time of death. I stumbled onto how they were going to finish it; I'll try to find the link. Here is another. Four body doubles and CGI http://www.enstarz.com/articles/3626...aled-video.htm

**McCourt** · 04-15-2014, 04:50 PM

So Ice T, the idiot rapper turned "movie star" has lost his mind. I don't know of one person who even saw this movie:

Ice Cube is setting the record straight ... saying he was not taking a huge shot at Paul Walker when he griped about losing to him at the MTV Movie Awards -- and claims his words were misinterpreted.

Cube raised eyebrows when, according to USA Today, he said ... "We was robbed" in the Best Onscreen Duo category. He and Kevin Hart's "Ride Along" lost to Paul Walker and Vin Diesel's "Fast & Furious 6."

He added, "We had the best chemistry of everybody nominated, for us not to win was crazy."

Sounds like Cube was getting some heat ... because he's now saying, "I wasn't really mad we didn't win. So I would never diss the actors who won. Not even Paul Walker."

Ice Cube also tweeted, "Ice Cube is not a sore loser. I was born losing. This winning s*** is what I gotta get use to."

Sources close to the actor/rapper tell us he had a joking tone during the USA Today interview ... and was just busting on award shows since he doesn't take them seriously.

We feel you on that, Cube.

I wish I had that kinda money to blow on stupid lawsuits!

I saw the trailer for Brick Mansions last night.. I saw this incredibly hot guy that reminded me of Paul Walker.. At the end of the trailer it said "staring Paul Walker" Damn! I don't miss much huh? lol

I'm with you. Put a moron behind the wheel of a high performance car and you have the perfect recipe for disaster.

**atomicbettie** · 05-17-2014, 11:07 PM

Who? Paul Walker? He was quite popular before he died. But I think a young death will always bring more attention to someone. It touches people more than maybe a genre of movies about fast cars.

That lawsuit is stupid.. Did the car make him go over 100 mph, over twice the speed limit in the area? Man. I had an accident where the axle of my car broke and cause me to crash into a parked car. The guy at the tow lot showed me how thick the metal was and told me there was no way it broke just from the crash I had, that it was the reason I did crash. My insurance did some investigating into it and wasn't able to prove anything. I was driving well below the speed limit (I crashed about 30 feet after completely stopping at a stop sign). I don't think she has a case but I guess we've seen stupider things happen.

StewartGilliganGriffin · 05-19-2014, 04:00 AM

I find it difficult to have sympathy for people that treat public roads as their private race tracks. I'm just thankful no innocent people were hurt as that could have easily happened. I do feel bad for the families. I guess we can all hope for a silver lining and that they'll stop making those awful fast and furious movies. Of course they won't. They have much more exploiting to do.... aka the whole "a percentage of profits from the latest dvd sales to go to Paul Walker's charity" exploitation bit.

He didn't commit suicide, it was an accident.
