6 Actors Whose Lives Became As Tragic As Their Characters

Paul Walker – The Fast & Furious Star Who Died In A Car

Walker built his career playing Brian O’Conner, a street racer who lived life a quarter-mile at a time in the Fast & Furious franchise. In 2013, at just 40, he died in a horrific car crash – the passenger in a Porsche that slammed into a concrete pole at 100 mph. The irony is sickening: a man famous for surviving impossible car stunts on screen was killed by a real one. His character was retired from the franchise, but the image of Walker dying in a speeding car will forever haunt fans.
