With an undeniable screen presence and talent that has enabled him to work on several of the most successful films of the past few years, Paul Walker has made the leap to leading man status. When given the opportunity to work with director Clint Eastwood, Walker jumped at the chance.

Walker received critical praise for his performance earlier this year in Running Scared and the box-office hit Eight Below. Prior to that, he appeared in Into the Blue for director John Stockwell.

In 2003, he starred in director John Singleton's 2 Fast 2 Furious. In the sequel to the previous year's box-office hit The Fast and the Furious (in which he also starred), Walker reprised his role as Brian O'Connor, a cop who is stripped of his badge and recruited to infiltrate the Miami street racing circuit in an effort to redeem himself.

Walker's credits also include Joy Ride, The Skulls, Varsity Blues, Pleasantville, She's All That, Brokedown Palace, and Noel.

When not on location, Walker resides in Los Angeles.
