Bruce Willis Biography

Bruce Willis first made a splash on TV in Moonlighting, costarring Cybill Shepherd, but his fame really grew with films such as Die Hard, The Sixth Sense and The Expendables.

Born Walter Bruce Willison on March 19, 1955, in Idar-Oberstein, West Germany, Bruce Willis's career was launched when he played wisecracking David Addison on TV's Moonlighting opposite Cybill Shepherd. In the summer of 1988, Die Hard, an action-packed flick that cast Willis as the muscle-pumping hero, hit movie screens with a bang, and his status as a bona fide movie star was minted. In 2010, Willis starred in the film The Expendables. In 2012, he reunited with the film's cast for The Expendables 2.
