Fire with Fire

Film Appearance0 Comments

In this action movie Willis plays police detective Mike Cella whose partner was murdered by an Aryan Brotherhood leader named Hagan, played by Vincent D’Onofrio. When Hagan murders a store clerk and his son, firefighter Jeremy Coleman (played by Josh Duhamel) is the witness who identifies Hagan in a lineup. Coleman is then threatened with death by Hagan, and his girlfriend is hurt. Cella is determined to exact justice, and turns a blind eye as Coleman seeks revenge. Director David Barret:

My dad was Burt Reynolds and Paul Newman’s stunt double, so Paul was my Godfather, so some of these race car races we would end up seeing Bruce, so I had met him before. Of course he didn’t remember, but when he signed on, I mean, are you kidding me? I knew I had the movie. I was ecstatic. He’s not in the movie a ton, but he does drive the story forward.

I ate a lot. I ate what I wanted and I ate late at night. I would come home from work. I didn’t overeat. But if I wanted a hamburger and fries and shake and a piece of apple pie with ice cream on it, I had it.
