Bruce Willis: From Action Star To Tragic Retirement

Bruce Willis has had the kind of multi-decade acting career that most acting hopefuls can only dream of. Whether you know him from his genre-defining leading roles in action films like the "Die Hard" franchise or are more partial to his subtly comedic roles in films like "Moonrise Kingdom" or "Cop Out," or even his dramatic, intense roles in films like "Unbreakable" or "16 Blocks," you can't deny his star power. However, for many fans, it came as a surprise that Willis has spent the last few years starring largely in direct-to-video action roles that don't seem to compare to his earlier work. Tragically, we now know the reason. This is the story of Bruce Willis: from action star to tragic retirement.
