While working as a barman, Willis was spotted by a New York casting director.
Career: Willis started out on stage and had small parts in movies and on TV before landing a lead role in hit series Moonlighting in 1985.

Other successes include Pulp Fiction, Twelve Monkeys, Armageddon, The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. In 2001 he announced he was steering clear of violent roles, but relented and went on to star in Hostage, Sin City and 16 Blocks.

Farina served 18 years as a policeman in Chicago before becoming an actor. He began his career in showbusiness working for director Michael Mann as a police consultant on Mann's early works.

Quote: 'Some people approach acting with all these things in their head, making it more complicated than it needs to be, way too cerebral. I don't want to know that an actor lived in a cave for 12 days so that he could prepare for a part.'
Trivia: Farina was the father of three sons, Dennis, Michael and Joseph, from his 10-year marriage to Patricia, which ended in divorce in 1980.
