overview

Maybe it’s the New Jersey influence, but actor Bruce Willis really shows his talent when he’s playing the smart talking, maybe a little down and out, and definitely a little shady kind of character that is the centerpiece of his best films. And, of course, there’s the television series that put him on the map, playing the role of David Addison Jr. opposite Cybil Shepherd in “Moonlighting.”

Film mega-hits like the “Die Hard” franchise or his work in “Pulp Fiction” may show off the best of Bruce but they aren’t the only kind of film roles he can play. He’s also got a wicked comedy streak and turns in fantastic performances in closely played psychological pieces like “The Sixth Sense.”

Bruce is a tenacious actor who’s been mostly up during his career with only a slight early 90’s slump tp his name, but his career of late has been all gangbusters. Look for some great new productions starring everybody’s favorite smart aleck in the near future.
