Paul Walker.

Paul Walker has died. It’s telling how much I enjoyed Paul Walker’s participation in the Fast and the Furious movies, ’cause when I first heard this news I felt genuine sadness. Which is pretty much foreign to me when it comes to mourning the passing of celebrities. Boo.

Paul Walker has reportedly died at the age of 40. The actor — best known for his work in the Fast and the Furious franchise — died suddenly after a single-car accident and explosion in Southern California, TMZ reports. The movie star died Saturday afternoon.

According to the site, Walker reportedly was in a Porsche when the unidentified driver lost control and slammed the vehicle into a tree. The car burst into flames at the scene. Another person was also killed at the time.

A native of Glendale, Calif., Walker first broke out in Hollywood in the late 90s films Pleasantville and Varsity Blues. He then went on to appear in She’s All ThatThe Skulls, and first joined theFast and the Furious franchise in 2001. The actor reprised his role as Brian O’Conner in Fast & Furious 6 in 2013. Fast & Furious 7 was announced for a 2014 debut.
