Paul Walker passed away from a tragic accident four years ago, and Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez are increasingly successful in Hollywood.

The Fast and the Furious (2001) is the first film in the Fast & Furious series . The film grossed 207 million USD compared to a production budget of 38 million USD. Main actors such as Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Jordan Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez returned for many sequels, turning Fast & Furious into a globally famous action franchise.

Paul Walker

Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) is the main character in The Fast and the Furious . He is an undercover police officer assigned by the FBI to infiltrate the underground world of monster drivers and cargo truck robbers. However, Brian’s passion for speed gradually made him side with street racers.

Although not highly appreciated for his acting, Paul Walker conquered the audience with his romantic appearance with blonde hair and blue eyes. He is also a compassionate person, participates in many charity activities and is secretive about his love life. After The Fast and the Furious , the actor’s name is associated with action roles. He appeared in five parts of the series along with several action films such as Into the Blue or Takers .

On November 30, 2013, Paul Walker and his longtime friend Roger Rodas died in a car accident on the way back from a charity fundraising event. Hollywood mourns an actor who passed away at a young age (40 years old). It seems that the phrase “life is a career, death is a career” has carried over into action stars. Speed ​​made Paul Walker famous and also took his life.

Bad actor Paul Walker

When he passed away, the actor had not yet finished filming Fast & Furious 7 . Some of his images in the film were recreated using special effects and stunt actors – including his two younger brothers.

Four years after Paul Walker’s death, Vin Diesel still choked up when sharing about his late colleague at the premiere of Fast & Furious 8 : “I always feel he is still watching over us. Part of our legacy. Paul is still alive in every frame of The Fate of the Furious “.

Vin Diesel

The actor plays Dominic Toretto – a monster driver with a careless personality, reckless but respectful of gratitude. In the following parts, Dominic becomes the center of the story and leads the group on many risky missions.

Vin Diesel is the face associated with the Fast & Furious brand . Parts two and three – two episodes in which the actor did not play the main role – were not highly rated. It was only when Diesel reappeared in the fourth installment of Fast and Furious (2009) that the series really flourished.

For more than two decades, the 49-year-old actor has built the image of a muscular hero on the silver screen. In addition to Fast & Furious , Vin Diesel appeared in popular action series such as Chronicles of Riddick and xXx . He also voiced the character Groot in the superhero film Guardians of the Galaxy . In 2016, Forbes magazine announced that Diesel was the actor with the eighth highest income of the year with 35 million USD.

Vin Diesel is a secretive star with the media. On World Entertainment channel , he said: “I don’t like being on magazine covers. I adhere to the code of silence of legends Harrison Ford, Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.” The actor has three children with his girlfriend – Mexican model Paloma Jimenez. His youngest daughter Pauline (born in 2015) was named after his late co-star Paul Walker.

Michelle Rodriguez

Michelle Rodriguez plays Letty – Dominic Toretto’s girlfriend. Part four of Fast and Furious (2009) has an episode where Letty is murdered, but then she returns in part six and suffers from amnesia. After recovering, the female driver continued to join Dominic’s gang of drivers.

The actress born in 1978 is associated with the image of a strong, thorny female character. She first attracted attention for her role as a boxer in the independent film Girlfight (2000), then continuously appeared in many action films such as The Fast and the Furious , Blue Crush , SWAT , Battle: Los Angeles , Machete and Machete Kills .

In 2009, Rodriguez participated in Avatar – the best-selling blockbuster of all time – as a female pilot on the side of the aliens. Her successes on the silver screen led Entertainment Weekly to call her “the most famous female star in the action genre, as well as one of Hollywood’s most famous Latin actors.”

The actress is always hot and strong on the silver screen.

In 2001, Michelle Rodriguez dated Vin Diesel. After the two broke up, they continued to play lovers on the silver screen. In 2006, there were rumors that she had a relationship with actress Kristanna Loken – her co-star in Bloodrayne . However, it wasn’t until eight years later that Michelle Rodriguez admitted she was bi𝑠e𝑥ual on Gay Star News . “I hope coming out will inspire many others to do the same,” she said.

Jordana Brewster

Neither Jordana Brewster nor lead actress Michelle Rodriguez knew how to drive when the first part of The Fast and the Furious started filming. Jordana Brewster plays Mia, Dominic Toretto’s (Vin Diesel) younger sister. This character is also an excellent driver, but usually does not directly drive in missions but only provides remote support.

After Mia married Brian O’Conner, she only appeared sparingly in episodes six and seven. Due to the death of Paul Walker in real life, the writers retired his character and Mia.

Besides the Fast & Furious series , Jordana Brewster does not have any outstanding movies. The actress made more of an impression on the small screen in the series Dallas and Lethal Weapon . In 2017, her role as female doctor Maureen Cahill in Lethal Weapon helped her be nominated for “Favorite Actress in a New Series” at the People’s Choice Awards.

Jordana Brewster is a seductive pink figure throughout the series.

Originally a model, Jordana Brewster has appeared many times on lists of the most beautiful people in the world. In 2011, Maxim magazine ranked her at number 11 on the list of 100 hot female stars. Brewster married producer Andrew Form in 2007. The actress was not healthy enough to get pregnant, so her two children were both born through surrogacy.

Rick Yune

In the first part of the Fast & Furious series , the villain is a Vietnamese named Johnny Tran, living in Little Saigon (California, USA). This character is portrayed by Rick Yune – an actor of Mongolian, Korean and Chinese descent.

In addition to acting, he is a martial artist who qualified for the Olympic Taekwondo competition. On screen, Yune is famous for her role as an Asian villain. In 2002, he played the villain Zao in the film 007 – Die Another Day , co-starring Pierce Brosman and Halle Berry.

The actor’s most recent movie is Olympus Has Fallen (2013). In it, Yune transformed into a Korean terrorist, occupied the White House and forced the US government to negotiate. In addition, he will also appear in the new part of Prison Break  – a television series that many fans are looking forward to this year.

Matt Schulze

The actor born in 1972 plays Vince – the driver and childhood friend of Dominic Toretto. Vince has feelings for Dominic’s sister, but she likes Brian O’Conner. Therefore, Vince always opposed allowing O’Conner to join the gang.

In the fifth Fast Five , this character is married and lives in Rio de Janeiro (the capital of Brazil). He assisted Dominic in the robbery, before dying from a gunshot wound.

Matt Schulze in “Fast Five”

In addition to the Fast & Furious series , Matt Schulze has appeared in the hit movies Blade , Blade II and The Transporter . After Fast Five , the actor has not participated in any movies.

In 2013, in an interview on Celebuzz , Schulze expressed his love for his newborn son and said he wanted to turn to the Broadway musical stage and write a script for a historical television series.
