Translation Results Requested Through Conyac Made Public

Unlike other young actors who take their early success as an excuse for public misbehavior, Walker was someone whose on-screen persona as a nice guy seemed to carry over into his real life as well. One never heard of him getting into drunken brawls or scrapes with paparazzi. I interviewed him a few years ago under some of the worst circumstances imaginable: the film he was plugging was awful beyond measure, and he was in the throes of a particularly nasty stomach virus. Not only did he insist on going through with the interview, he proved an engaging subject. He dutifully sold what he was there to sell, but was far more animated when talking about his hopes to work on more ambitious material in the vein of "Pleasantville."
Such opportunities may not have occurred as often as he might have liked, but in Walker's best work, he demonstrated enough care for his craft to suggest that he was in it for the long haul.
Walker is survived by a daughter, Meadow Rain. Besides the still-in-production "Fast & Furious 7," he has two other films being readied for release. The first, "Hours," a drama in which he plays a father trying to rescue his prematurely-born daughter from a hospital under siege from Hurricane Katrina, is set for release on December 13.
