ACTION man Bruce Willis, 67, won America’s heart in 1985 when he played wisecracking private eye David Addison opposite Cybill Shepherd in the hit ABC series “Moonlighting” — and polished his tough guy persona in more than 70 films!
Bruce made his unforgettable bigscreen breakthrough playing wiseass detective John McClane in the 1988 action film “Die Hard” and starred in four sequels.
Willis’ pet project, the comedy “Hudson Hawk,” laid an enormous egg in 1991 — but fans forgave him for the turkey!
He revived his career playing aging boxer Butch Coolidge in Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 “Pulp Fiction.”
Fans loved how he stared death in the face as Dr. Malcolm Crowe in 1999’s supernatural thriller-with-atwist “The Sixth Sense.”
The onetime action star also aged gracefully in ensemble movies about elderly hitmen — such as “Red” in 2010, where he plays a former black-ops agent lured back into play, and an uncredited role in “The Expendables” as the tough who hires a group of elite mercenaries.
Sadly, his acting days have come to an end.
