Bruce Willis is really called Walter
Willis. He has three children they are called Rumer, Scout and Tallulah.
Willis was a wild child, always fighting and cracking jokes. He was born
on March 19, 1955 in Germany. After this he grew up in New Jersey from
the age of two. Then started to work as an entertainer. He was in a band
(Loose Goose) and played the harmonica while he was in collage. He
worked as a security guard. Then he began acting and working in a bar.
Soon after of Broadway productions and TV advertisements Bruce got a
part in Moonlighting co-staring Cybill Sheperd. Bruce Willis' Addison on
Moonlighting set the tone for the more high-profile action roles of his
film career. After this he got a part in Blind Date which then lead to
his big hit Die Hard his third film made him known in Hollywood and
since 1988 total worldwide box office takings have made more than $1.3
billion. Where Stallone and Schwarzenegger seemed like muscle guys
trying to be funny, Willis always seemed like a funny guy trying to be
tough.
Willis pays the bills with action roles, but he likes to take risks,
some of which pay off, some of which are called Hudson Hawk. Willis'
range, both good and bad is epitomized by his work between 1994 and
1995. He starred in Color of Night, a laughably bad psychological
thriller (worth renting on a bad movie night). The convoluted plot
doesn't bear scrutiny and seems to serve mostly as a bridge for sex
scenes with beautiful and often nude actress Jane March. The
unintentional humor of the movie is strengthened by the soundtrack,
which includes some of the most overbearing saxophone play this side of
Kenny G.
Right after that debacle Willis took a supporting role in Pulp Fiction.
Willis' best acting is usually done in supporting roles in less
commercial products. The respect he won from his role as Butch was
furthered by his turn with Paul Newman in Nobody's Fool.
Willis starred in 2 films in 1995. He cashed in again with Die Hard With
a Vengeance, a box office success but probably the least exciting of the
Die Hard series. As the hero of Twelve Monkeys, Willis did some of his
finest acting. He played a hero not out of the action mold, a befuddled
man from the future sent through time to change the past. Gone was the
wise-cracking cockiness; in its place was a very human uncertainty and
frailty.
Since then, Willis has starred in 2 films that were moderately
successful but critically lambasted. On the horizon he will be seen in a
remake of Day of the Jackal, and further ahead there is already some
talk of a fourth Die Hard. While his wife Demi Moore's fortunes have
fallen slightly over the past year, Bruce Willis still appears to be
going strong.
