description: "He turned wisecracking vulnerability into an action-star archetype—John McClane in a blood-stained undershirt—then spent three decades proving he could do more than survive explosions, before a flood of direct-to-video work and a dementia diagnosis ended the run in 2022."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born March 19, 1955, Willis broke through on the comedy-drama Moonlighting from 1985 to 1989, then became an unlikely action anchor with Die Hard in 1988 and its four sequels through 2013. Over a hundred films followed: Pulp Fiction in 1994, 12 Monkeys in 1995, The Fifth Element in 1997, The Sixth Sense in 1999, Unbreakable and The Whole Nine Yards both in 2000, then Sin City, Red, Looper, and Glass across the next two decades. His late-career years saw a cascade of low-budget direct-to-video releases, poorly received, before he retired in 2022 with aphasia and received a frontotemporal dementia diagnosis in 2023. He released two albums as a singer in the late eighties, made his Broadway debut in Misery in 2015, won a Golden Globe and two Emmys, and by 2010 was the eighth-highest-grossing leading actor in North America.
