Walter Bruce Willis (March 19, 1955), known professionally as Bruce Willis, is an internationally renown German-born American actor, made famous by his role in the original 1988 Die Hard. He has since reprised the role of John McClane in all of its sequels, something no other actor has accomplished; Die Hard 2, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Live Free or Die Hard and A Good Day to Die Hard. Willis later appeared in a 2005 adaptation of the Robert Crais novel of the same name, entitled Hostage, which was based on Robert Crais' best-selling novel of the same name, co-produced by Willis and his production company, and bared resemblance to the Die Hard formula. In 2006, he starred in another similar role for the well-received crime thriller 16 Blocks.
