Episode Details

This week on Dead Famous, we’re hitting the gas on the life, and sudden, shocking death, of Paul Walker, the laid-back California actor who became a global superstar thanks to the turbo-charged chaos of Fast & Furious.

Behind the blue eyes and easy charm was a man who dodged the worst of Hollywood excess, choosing ocean conservation and low-key living over tabloid drama. But in 2013, everything came to a violent halt when Walker died in a high-speed car crash that felt grimly in sync with the films that made him famous.

We’re digging into his early career, his unexpected rise to action icon status, and the eerie, tragic circumstances of the crash that killed him.
