Walter Bruce Willis was born on 19 March 1955 at Idar-Oberstein, West Germany. From the age of two he grew up in New Jersey. As a child Willis was very wild and always kept on fighting and making jokes.
After some years Willis started to work as an entertainer. He was in a band named Loose Goose and played the harmonica while he was still in college. He also worked as a security guard and then began acting and working in a bar.
After some TV advertisements Bruce got a role in Moonlighting which also starred Cybill Sheperd. This was the turning point of his career. Then he started to get more high-profile action roles in his film career.
After this he appeared in 'Blind Date' and this lead to his promising hit 'Die Hard'. It was this film that made his identity among other Hollywood actors. The total worldwide box office collections have been more than $1.3 billion. In the film Stallone and Schwarzenegger were the muscle guys who tried to be funny, and he was just opposite a funny guy trying to be tough.
Bruce Willis always liked to take risks, some of which paid off, and some of which are called Hudson Hawk. He also starred in 'Color of Night' which is a laughably bad psychological thriller. It contained the haughty saxophone music which strengthened the unintentional humor of the movie. But that also did not work out in the favor of that movie. After that huge debacle Willis took a supporting role in 'Pulp Fiction'. Mainly Willis performs the best when he is playing a supporting role and in products that is not hugely commercial. He won huge respect for this role. Later on he went on to do 'Nobody's Fool' with Paul Newman.
In the year 1995 Willis starred in 2 films. Willis tried in again with 'Die Hard' With a Vengeance. Although it was a box office success but it was the least exciting of all the Die Hard series. Willis did some of his purest acting as the hero of 'Twelve Monkeys'. Here in this movie he played a befuddled man from the future who has been sent through time to change the past. After that Willis appeared in two more movies which were moderate hits. Then he started working in the remake of 'Day of the Jackal' and 'fourth Die Hard'.
As far his private life goes he is married to the beautiful Demi Moore and lives a happy life.
