:( Sad.
Damn. Really enjoyed his acting; very underrated actor.
Please, if you enjoy Paul's work, watch the movie 'Running Scared'
Rest in peace.

What a shame. To think he died at the hands of someone else and left a daughter behind, too. Save it for the track, people.

The gentleman who was driving was an accomplished racer himself.

Don't put this away as driver error over mechanical failure or some outstanding circumstance that most will never know.

RIP Paul Walker

RIP Roger Rodas

This sucks, although I didn't know either of them personally so I'm not up in arms about it like some people. He was a good actor and from what I've read over the last 20 hours or so.. He was a pretty awesome guy.

I'm curious to see how they work this into the F&F series.

^ Not to be a Royal A$$ about it but seeing how nobody actually ever dies in that series. I doubt it will continue just for that sake because the only thing to do would be like what they did with Brandon Lee in the Crow or Jeff Bridges in Tron Legacy, take another actor and put their face on them digitally. I can only imagine the insane uproar if they did that.

Word is, that speed was a factor in the death of Paul Walker and Roger Rodas according to police(obviously) but there was also a power steering fluid leak that may have been a factor as well. At least that's what I was told.

I as a fan wouldn't find it easy to accept a story for the death of a main character. I'm sure others would agree. I'm not sure how they could continue to make movies with the same storyline and keep most if not all of the fans onboard. Fast 6 was a pretty satisfying ending to the core of the saga. If anything it would need to go in a completely different direction. Maybe stay in Tokyo or something. I'm just guessing though.

The death of a main character happens a lot in popular TV shows, and with a series as long as F&F, it's almost like that. New characters are being brought in all the time so if Paul Walker's character is written out, I am sure people will understand why it happened and they will have the series continue.

Honestly, I would love to see F&F 8 now with a plot of the rest of the crew now going for revenge for Brian's death...

That was my intial thought about the series as well.

I would love it if they write him out, have a gut-wrenching reaction scene from the rest of the "family" and then they all move onto avenge his death and everything explodes.

As bad as I feel saying this, I am fully expecting a gut wrenching funeral scene.. Mostly because you know the tears would all be 100% real.

It would make for great entertainment, which makes me feel like **** lol. But, alas, I am only human.

LOL Wow that article is equivalent of me saying I'm a world renowned gynecologist because my wife is at work on my four days off and I have a high speed internet connection.
