Blond haired, blue-eyed Paul Walker could be the poster boy for Southern Californian life. He has a look that is almost too good to be true, and which is much-loved by legions of adoring fans.

Walker was born in Glendale, California on September 12, 1973. He has two brothers, Caleb and Cody, and one sister, Ashlie. Paul inherited his looks from his mom, a fashion model. Paul also did some modeling work as a child. Both of his parents were very supportive of their children, and Paul grew up in a happy and close-knit home.

As a young man, he excelled at sports and picked up a passion for surfing. Paul has always maintained a sense of freedom and a carefree ideology. His friends have nicknamed him "Vagrant" because he never stays in one place for long. He goes wherever his Nissan Skyline will lead him, the only condition being that there must be a place to surf when he gets there.

After graduating from Christian Villiage High School in Sun Valley, Paul attended several community colleges and at first majored in Marine Biology. However, his early taste of acting came back with a vengeance and Paul decided to pursue an acting career. With experience in modeling, a number of television guest spots (Who's the Boss?, Diff'rent Strokes) and a role on a hit soap opera (The Young and the Restless), already to his credit (pre-college), he decided acting was definitely the way to go.

Shortly after returning from college, Paul starred in Meet the Deedles, a campy, silly, but surprisingly fun film which failed to garner much attention. However, lack of attention would not be a problem for long. With Pleasantville, Paul appeared in his first hit. As the town stud (a la 1950's) who more than meets his match in modern day Reese Witherspoon, he was one of the most memorable characters of the film.

Roles in the hits Varsity Blues, She's All That, The Skulls, Joyride and The Fast and the Furious have cemented Walker's continued rise to celebrity.
