    Yeah, but Paul Walker is a very common English name ... maybe it's a case of mistaken identity.

    It's done. His wife will be in it, too. They will have a dance scene together.

    Sincerely,

    They probably finished filming and in post production. They were already filming Fast n' Furious 7 when Fast 6 opened in theaters.

    That's why Justin Lin quit the franchise, the pace of filming back to back sequels was too exhausting.

    This is why you don't drive fast and furious.

    I could maybe forgive someone who was in his 20s for being this dumb, but dude was in his 40s and he let his friend wrap him around a tree like that?

    I made the mistake of doing that one time and this 18 year old kid wanted to fishtail the car we were in at 60 miles an hour. I put the fear of god into that kid and he drove straight the rest of the way.

    I'll be damned if I'm going to let somebody kill me.

    I've heard good things about Running Scared, but he did well making O'Conner the guy I loved to hate. I know you don't expect these exotic all-carbon fiber cars to last in a crash, but damn the thing looks disintegrated. RIP

    Nope. Unfortunately it was THE Paul Walker from The Fast and Furious. RIP.

    The Rockets new nickname should be the Fast and Furious.

    Were there any remains to collect? It doesn't look like there were.

    So crazy how bad that mangled car looks. I wonder if anyone saw how fast the car was going?

    He always came across like a really good guy. I came across some Youtube clip a while back of "Fast and Furious" outtakes -- for some reason he appeared to be one of those guys that sorta knew who he was in the pantheon of actors. The kinda guy who didn't get all "frou-frou" when talking about "his craft" or whatever.

    He just seemed to "get it". Like he knew deep down that he could just as easily be selling cars, or scratching out a living making regional commercials. Or whatever -- and yet he was a working actor who had a pretty successful franchise under his belt and could take care of his family.

    He wasn't going to win any Academy Awards for his acting, but he was doing something he loved for a living -- which is, many times, easier said than done to accomplish. I think a lot of us can relate to how hard it is to position ourselves in a place where we truly enjoy how we're spending our days. I know I can.

    And even though -- to us -- he was just some dude who may have kept us entertained for a couple of hours on the big screen...he was someone's son. And brother. And dad (if memory serves...). And friend.

    I'm not one of those that can typically watch the same movie over and over and over. But there are a few that -- for some reason -- I always watch when I catch them on t.v....."A Few Good Men", any of the "Bourne" movies, and, for some reason, any of the "Fast and Furious" movies.

    My condolences to his family and his friends.

    What makes it worse is that he was coming from a charity event
