Birth Name: Walter Bruce Willis
Birthdate: March 19, 1955
Birthplace: Idar-Oberstein, West Germany
Willis was born on a military camp but grew up in New Jersey and started acting onstage in the '80s. A casting director discovered him tending bar in New York, and he started getting more and more small parts onstage and in films. Beating out 3,000 other hopefuls in 1985 for the role of P.I. David Addison on the mystery-comedy show Moonlighting, the unknown Willis became a household name in short order and a superstar a few years later with the Die Hard action franchise. In 1987, he became one-half of a Hollywood super-couple when he married Demi Moore; they divorced amicably after 13 years and three kids. He remains one of Hollywood's most respected actors, playing everything from difficult character roles in small independent films to, well, John McLane yet again in 2007's Live Free or Die Hard.

"I take the work that I do as an actor seriously. I don't take that lightly. But I don't have to have 40 candles in my room. Or the green M&Ms taken out of the candy dish. I can not believe that crap."
