12 Gen X Film Stars Gone Much Too Soon

Paul Walker

Paul Walker was born September 12, 1973 and died November 30, 2013 at only 40.

Best known for playing Brian O’Conner in the Fast & Furious franchise, Walker was a wildly charismatic actor also praised for his roles in the teen comedy She’s All That, the road thriller Joy Ride, and the diving thriller Into the Blue. But he could do serious drama as well, as he proved with 2006’s Flags of Our Fathers.

Walker died in a single-vehicle collision as a passenger in a speeding Porsche while driving off from a charity event.
