Line 10:

Before and following his success on ''Die Hard'', Willis was a mildy successful pop singer for a brief period of time, most notably under the persona of Bruno (no, not ''[[Bruno|that]]'' persona).

Since ''Die Hard'', Willis has had a healthy film career, alternating between action, comedy, and even straight-up drama. In many of his action movies, Willis is the king of the heroic comeback, and usually has one scene where the bad guys [[No Holds Barred Beatdown|work him over badly]], only for him to come back in the final reel and win out. This was perhaps best codified in 1994's [[Pulp Fiction]] in which he plays a down and out boxer who bets the money he took to take a fall on himself and earns himself a very bizarre day, only to come through in the end and ride off into the future on a chopper with his girl by his side. It's also worth noting that the ending of Bruce's story arc is also technically the end of the movie itself, at least as far as the strict continuity of events is concerned.

He also co-founded the Planet Hollywood restaurant alongside fellow action movie titans [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] and [[Sylvester Stallone]]. Appropriately, all three shared the big screen for the first time (although Willis will just [[The Cameo|cameo]]) in 2010's ''[[The Expendables]]''.
